Very superstitious. Well planned tour and highly protected. Needs a touch of paint to brighten it More

Get there early to avoid all the tour buses. Well worth the visit. The tombs are amazing and could spend a long time walking around admiring the buildings and immersing yourself in the history of the time. The architecture of the palace and the relics from the past are very interesting. More
