The Valley of the Kings is considered one of the largest areas of archaeological explorations related to Egyptian science over the last two centuries, after it was merely a tourist attraction in ancient times (especially during the Roman era). This area also witnesses the succession that has long been studied in the history of ancient Egypt, which began with the impact of the monuments and the tombs until it reached what is now of interesting scientific explorations about the city of Thebes, the favorite fairy city of all the century. Despite all these explorations, no more than ten have been fully proven after knowing all the details related to them and their owners.

The Temple of Hatshepsut was built during the 18th Dynasty next to the Temple of Mentuhotep. It is distinguished by its size and continues to amaze visitors with its beauty and unique design, unlike the temples built in Thebes on the east bank of the Nile. At the dawn of Christianity, the Copts established a monastery for worship on the Temple of Hatshepsut. This monastery remained in existence until the 11th century. In the 19th century, the archaeologists Auguste Mariette and Edward Navey discovered the remains of the monastery and worked to remove the ruins to reveal the temple beneath. Navey documented his work extensively in seven books titled "The Temple of Deir el-Bahari" between 1894 and 1898.

The Colossi of Memnon, also known locally as the Colossi or Salamat, are two enormous statues, erected around 1350 BC. They are all that remain of a temple built in memory of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, who ruled Egypt during the Eighteenth Dynasty. They are located in the mortuary city of Thebes, west of the Nile River, near the present-day city of Luxor.
