Deir El Medina is commonly known as the workers village. It lay under sand for almost two thousand years until it was rediscovered around 1815. The workers from this village cut, carved and painted the tombs of the pharaohs in the Valley of the Kings and those of their wives and children in the Valley of the Queens.
