In the Courtyard

In the Courtyard

View inside the Courtyard of the Tomb of the Kings looking southwest.  On the right side of the image, three steps lead up to the monumental entrance of the tomb that is partially preserved.  On the top of the tomb entrance, there were originally three pyramids—none of which are preserved.

The courtyard measures 90 x 82 ft. and is carved out of the solid rock.

On the left (south) side note the solid rock wall that separates the Courtyard from the Staircase.  The "door" opening on the far left leads to the staircase.
