The "Valley of the Kings" takes its name from the large number of Egyptian royalty interred there. Because it is a valley, it was possible to dig into the sides of the valley horizontally and laterally to build tombs. Perhaps it would be less ambiguous if we started referring to it as "the valley of THE TOMBS OF the kings.
