Some of them were responsible for digging and building the tombs of the pharaohs in the Valley of the Kings, and others worked in making statues, furniture and utensils to prepare the tomb of each pharaoh according to his wishes before death.

The workers who were building the tombs were specialists and artists in designing, digging and decorating the walls of the tomb, to be a “palace” that the pharaoh could return to on occasions after his death. This was the belief of the ancient Egyptians that the pharaoh would live in heaven among the gods, with the possibility of visiting the earth and its people after his death, and even helping them.
