Abstract
The paper exposed to use microgravity method as one of geophysical tools in archeo-prospecting. The Valley of the Kings, western bank of Luxor, Egypt involving more than 62 discovered tombs for old pharos. The research tested some examples of these toms by carrying out microgravity measurements. The data was processed and forward modeled and the gravity effects were compared to the obtained observed gravity data. In additions, some other areas was subjected for microgravity investigations and the data was interpreted in terms of hidden rooms, corridors etc....
