description: Pharaoh's Workers focuses on the archaeological site at Deir el Medina on the west bank of the Nile at Luxor. The workers who prepared the royal tombs and lived there in what has been called the earliest known artists' colony left a rich store of artifacts and documents through which we can glimpse not only their working conditions and domestic activities but also their religious beliefs and private thoughts.
