5.3 Luxor-Temple of kachkanar g & Imperial Valley Temple of Luxor & & sunset of the Nile

Back from Alexandria Cairo is 8 pm, we will take the night train to 9 points of Luxor.

The train looks shabby, but relatively clean inside, two persons than the hard sleeper trains to China comfort. Dinner on the train also fairly tasty, and so, in the train of sloshing, we ushered in Luxor!

From the railway station to get off our first destination is: Karnak! it is the ancient Egypt's largest temple, dedicated to the Lord of gods — DeArmond.

It is actually a series of combinations of the temple, time stretch clusters of up to two thousand years, from four thousand years ago in the era of the Kingdom of the period until the close of the Ptolemaic era.

Naturally, the most prominent is the new Kingdom period of Rameses II, because of national prosperity, upper and lower Egypt under unified control, North to the South of Luxor to Aswan, his footprints tread over the River, built temples circular arrangement of the whole Egypt, his statues are also all over the country.

Kachkanar-Temple, is my current trip to Egypt is the most shocking and frightening landscapes, for it, really can not express in words.

Leaving the Canal, drove 40 minutes to the Valley of the Kings.

Imperial Valley, numerous tombs in a broad Valley.

In front of the Valley, that is, the end of the trough is towering Thebes is surrounded by mountains, it itself is like a huge natural pyramid, the top part of the main peak, Mt. Jisi — in a layer of vertically walls have a pyramid-shaped peak. Lonely Mountain, barren; bare mountain, weathering and developing, have become broken messy macadam, only the upper part of the mountain still steep rocks.

This used to be 65 Pharaoh's Tomb in 1922, 64 seats have been stolen.

The only surviving is juvenile King sakaltutan scammon that obscure the Tomb, it covers small and built in Rameses VI, below the mausoleum. Juvenile King only in place for nine years, where he died in an accident at the age of 19. The many illustrious Pharaoh was almost forgotten by the young people in the world, but because he Pharaoh well-preserved tombs were discovered and a Pharaoh, than any other is today the world's attention.

We only visited Rameses III and IV of the mausoleum, the figure of Mongolian mausoleum Tanzania card opening time from afternoon to begin, there is no time to wait, but to give up.

About the Kings Valley story much more ....

(Emperors, pyramids, natural)

Bangladesh agricultural gods and Kings Valley enjoy a part of the temple, the Temple from the statue in front of the giant like size, you can infer that the greatest of the temple.

The temple building itself has been lost, only two huge statue stands in the wilderness.

Magnificent seated very spectacular, height of 20 meters, which is seven stories high. Ratio accuracy, style and well proportioned, Egypt's new Kingdom period works, plastic is King-Hamon-Linotype III, 1500 years ago b.c. as far back as the time.

The statue is seated, the King and obedient decorum, hands in her lap, torso, hands, knees and lower basic integrity.

The face has been damaged, left a chest has been damaged, is 27 years b.c. an earthquake destroyed them.

It is said that dawn in the early years, every time, broken giant like often issued a lonesome sound, such as songs such as tears, so called "singing stone".

In fact, it may be cracked stone in low temperature shrink when the stone is an extrusion of sound; it may also be strong wind penetrating air blow when the rock crevices. But the third century a.d., the Roman people trying to repair after a giant like, "singing" disappear.

Face stands firmly, mysterious solemn colossus, we appear to be very small, a sort of AWE oil however.

Ancient Egypt who understands that to great shows with great solemnity, show the great moral authority to the mystery, to a great deterrent.

After lunch, the next station, remains Rameses temple architecture in the era of classic-Luxor Temple.

The scale of the Temple of Karnak might not, but it is much more delicate.

Two black basalt statue of Rameses II sitting side-by-side for giant like, in the Tower door before even the feet of the tendon and venous meticulously, tricks, how realistic and superb!

Two huge Obelisk, has only one seat; another seat, back in the late 18th century, presented by the Government of Egypt to France, stands the Concorde in Paris.

Temple stone pillar, form and Karnak, is the end of the cylinder, the stigma is closed petals; despite the quantity is more than many modern building is huge, but due to the shape of this treatment, but make it invisible and resonant and more delicate.

In addition to Rameses II of enormous statue, there are some volume not big statue, although worn, but exquisitely carved by marble.

The Temple of the innermost Hamon Temple murals very rich, I carry travel guide many mural maps are from here.
