Embrace yourself for the afterlife
Like the book of the dead, the Mountain of the Dead stands out as one of ancient Egypt’s mesmerizing mysteries. Both the book & the Mountain have one theme in common and that is death.

Visitors who return to Luxor as often as the filmmaker of this documentary does, realize that they are in the ancient city of Thebes/Waset not when they see the temples, the royal tombs, and not even the River Nile.
You get this familiar feeling that you have arrived in Luxor only when your eyes see the Western Mountain which embraces magnificent funerary temples of ancient Egypt’s greatest kings and their necropolis, aka, the valley of kings & queens.
known as the mountain of the dead for ancient Egyptians used to bury their dead in the west bank of the Nile around its foothills. But is this a fair designation of the mountain?
Watch the award-winning documentary film and let’s find out.
