The craftsmen, servants and labourers who worked on the royal tombs lived in the village of Deir al-Medina, also known as the Workmen's Village, to the south of the Valley of the Queens. They were buried in the nearby necropolis, in tombs that were intricately decorated and surmounted by a small pyramid. There are several impressive tombs here where the craftsmen clearly practiced their art to help their own soles in the afterlife. Unfortunately no cameras were allowed so I don't have any pictures of the tombs that I took myself. However you can see some of them here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deir_el-Medina
