Workers working on the hillside, on the limestone hills next to the Valley of the Kings, outside Luxor

When you look closely, you can see the various structures that show the restoration and excavation work ongoing at the limestone hills outside Luxor; there is always work happening there. It is recognized that there may be much more to find in the area, with tombs of some of the rulers of the period not having yet been found. Also, as the tombs of workers and nobles are found, they reveal more information of that era.
