Because since the late ancient kingdom, there have been grave robbers in Egypt, and even professional teams have robbed tombs. In order to be "safe" after death, the pharaohs of the new kingdom began to dig caves and tombs in the valleys on the west bank of the Nile, instead of building pyramids to bury the pharaohs' bodies. Later, this place became the focus of the tombs of the pharaohs in the New Kingdom period and became the "Wangling Valley".

The first person in Wangling Valley was Pharaoh Thutmose I (BC 1525? Previously about 15 12). He ordered a steep tunnel to be dug in the limestone wall of the valley as a tomb, which marked the official end of the pyramid tomb construction that lasted for more than 1000 years. In the following 500 years, all the pharaohs built their tombs in this way.

The grotto tomb goes deep into the mountainside, with complex structure and gorgeous decoration. Although it is not as grand as the pyramids, at least it is not as attractive as the pyramids and gives the Pharaoh a sense of security. More than 90 pyramids have been discovered in Egypt, the largest of which are the three pyramids in Giza, a suburb of Cairo.

However, these protective measures did not completely stop the rampant robbery gangs, and later a robbery team near the pyramid appeared near Wangling Valley. Forced by life and lured by huge interests, grave robbers took risks and tried their best to find the entrance to the tomb and looted all the gold and silver inside. By the 4th century BC, when the ancient Egyptian civilization was coming to an end, the Wangling Valley was riddled with holes, and the entrances of many caves were greatly opened. Wangling Valley became the "ghost domain" of Pharaoh, and also became the settlement of wild animals and grave robbers.
