" We came to a part that is wider ", says Richard
Pococke, the early Eastern traveler, writing in 1743 of his visit to the Valley
of the Tombs of the Kings ( KV ), " being a round opening like an
amphitheatre, and ascended by a narrow step passage about ten feet high, which
seems to have been broken down thro' the rock … By this passage we came to
Biban el-Meluke, or Bab el-Meluke, that is, the gate or court of the kings,
being the sepulchers of the Kings of Thebes " .
