'''The Valley of Kings''' is the name of two different but very similar [[decision]]s regarding the excavation of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tutankhamun The grave of Tutankhamun]. The first and most common one requires can be taken by any great power, if {{flag|Egypt}} still owns Luxor and is not in the sphere of said great power. The other one can be taken by any [[civilized]] nation, which owns Luxor including a civilized Egypt, or any great power, which has Egypt in the [[sphere of influence]].

==Option 1 - An [[uncivilized]] Egypt owns Luxor==
It is available once a Great power has researched [[Nationalism and Imperialism]] and have at least 25 [[prestige]]. {{flag|Egypt}} must exist and own the province of Luxor (ID 1767). Additionally Egypt must NOT be sphered by the nation in question.

It gives Egypt the [[event]] [[Excavation Rights Requested]], where it can choose wether to allow the excavation or not. Additionally the great power in question will get the modifier 'international pressure', giving {{red|0.1}} [[infamy]] pr. month, until Egypt accepts or at most for two years.

If Egypt allows the excavation, the Great power gets the event [[Egypt Grants Excavation Rights]], which gives {{green|5}} [[prestige]], as well as an additional {{green|0.01}} prestige pr. month while the excavation unfolds. It also improves the [[relation]] between [[Egypt]] and the great power in question by {{green|20}}.
On the other hand, if Egypt rejects the excavation with [[Egypt Denies Excavation Rights]], the [[great power]] loses {{red|5}} [[prestige]] and the relation between the two nations are lowered by {{red|20}}.

An AI-controlled Egypt has 30% chance of accepting the proposal. This is tripled to 90% if the asking nation has more than 65 [[prestige]].

==Option 2 - Luxor is owned by the nation, taking the decision==
Alternatively, any civilized nation that owns or have sphered the owner of Luxor, including a potentially civilized Egypt, can excavate the Valley on its own.
This time around, one doesn't have to negotiate with [[Egypt]] and the entire event chain regarding the acceptance or denying of excavation is bypassed. The decision simply gives {{green|5}} [[prestige]].

==Futher complications==
After the excavation begins, either by option 1 or 2, a long list of possible events can happen, with a long list of possible effects both positive and negative. They can give [[prestige]] and research points if a grave is found, give [[militancy]], hurt [[relation]]s with Egypt or demand further funding to name a few.

If the crownjewel of the excavation, Tukankhamons Tomb, is found it gives a staggering {{green|1 year}} worth of research points as well as {{green|30}} [[prestige]]. It does however have a [[mean time to happen]] of 2000 months(166,7 years).
