| This site is dedicated to
facilitating your dream tour of Egypt. Deir
el Medina, the village of the workmen who built the tombs of the
Pharaohs, is one of the most important sites in Egypt. The
village existed for several hundred years and many written records
were kept, as well as casual drawings and statements on ostraca (stone
chips). Because of the finds at the village, we know a great
deal about daily life and law of Egypt and the
administrative procedures required to build the tombs in the Valley of
the Kings.
