Was the Valley of the Kings Originally Built to be Massive Apocalyptic Bunkers?

from Megalithic Marvels · host Derek Olson

Located near Luxor, Egypt, the "Valley of the Kings" is over 400+ miles away from the Great pyramids in the north - a 7+ hour car drive away. The Valley of the Kings is one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world, which really began to garner significant attention following the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922. Known to contain approximately 65 chambers, the Dynastic Pharaohs used these tunnels as resting places for themselves and their powerful nobles under the New Kingdom of ancient Egypt for a period of nearly 500 years, from the 18th dynasty to the 20th dynasty (approximately 1539 BC to 1075 BC). But is there more to the "Valley of the Kings" than we've been told? Does this ancient site go back to a much earlier age? Were the largest precision cut tunnels engineered for an entirely different purpose than that of a tomb? Why do some of these ancient massive tunnel systems appear as modern day hotels that feature multiple levels, large corridors, huge pillars, gatherings spaces and hundreds of rooms running along both sides of long hallways? Were the largest of these tunnels engineered prior to 10,500 B.C. by pre-diluvian ancients in order to survive the coming cataclysmic solar disasters? I break it all down in this mind-bending episode…. Get Mohamed Ibrahim's book here
