The valley of Kings is a valley of Upper Egypt where the majority of the tombs of the Kings of the period 1600 to 1100 BCE were constructed. The area has the attention of archeologists/ egyptologists since the late 18th century and its the area where the mummy of Tutankhamun was found in 1922 by Howard Carter.
Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon were the archaeologists that discovered Tutankhamun's tomb in The Valley of The Kings. On the 4th of November 1922 they first looked into the untouched tomb of Tutankhamun; it was very surprising that it hadn't already been robbed. Just a few things to say about that, it had been robbed already; just not Tutankhamun's body. Howard Carter was the person who discovered Tut's tomb, Lord Carnarvon was the person paying.
The "Valley of the Kings" takes its name from the large number of Egyptian royalty interred there. Because it is a valley, it was possible to dig into the sides of the valley horizontally and laterally to build tombs. Perhaps it would be less ambiguous if we started referring to it as "the valley of THE TOMBS OF the kings.
The 'Vally of the Kings' is not built, nor is in Thebes. The 'Vally of the Kings' is a natural valley gut into an escarpment bordering the Nile Valley. This natural valley was used as the site for burial of royal mummies by the ancient Egyptians. The ancient city of 'Thebes' is in Greece.
