Egypt travel notes

Disappointed in Cairo

Egypt, was a childhood dream to go to, imagine the Grand pyramids and the mysterious charm of the Pharaohs, imagining the brilliant culture of 5000 years ago, the land is so magical place ... ...

20 hours of turbulence, people really some unbearable, but going to the source of divine culture, how can we not have hard? Camino will have ups and downs, so that the guilty.

Finally, I stand at the foot of the pyramids, the Sphinx of it, let me surprised that such a miracle has only one step away from the city, it should not be located in more remote and more dangerous place? also, they do not I expected so majestic, slightly to regret exportation.our

However, ban rebutting the pyramids still silent, see weathering of Sphinx was not language, but silently watched our hurried visitor, as though a thousand years, is just a moment.

Cultural and historical meanings in this moment is the magnificent interpretation: is not that high, but in depth. The mists of history, one's life is so small, but everyone in the meagre forces precipitation with history.

Egypt Museum, a 19th century building, in that era, also called building products.

It's extremely rich, rich was arbitrarily placed a mummy, arbitrary stacked stone 4000 years ago. of these, like the backlog of Antiquities in a warehouse of the goods, the owner of the thing is too many, only in this way the heap, crowded and there are no definite order of dynasties. Want to know whenever anything is a priceless treasure! the whole second floor, only sakaltutan scammon Pharaoh's tomb unearthed in cultural relics is full of it. Gold mask is fine, all kinds of funerary technology superb! but people can't lament: Why can't you have a good layout, so why not build a better Exhibition Hall? visitors heart anxious raring. Egypt's national? they only more helpless in such a 90 per cent of the country is desert country, poverty is a difficult problems, poor results is not concerned with history and art. While the military Government of corruption, Muslims obedience, let these friendly, patriotic citizens only deep sigh. Only five times in a day of worship Allah's asylum in seeking to more to numb his own soul.

Cairo confusion and dirty another surprise: there is no build up of the building, has housed; there is no traffic lights, turn to turn far; traffic severity; horse-drawn carriage, donkey cart arbitrary.

In addition to the Nile and some modern feeling, the city, like God abandon children, people look at is that this breaks!

Why have created a brilliant civilization country like that, just as if from the desert to difficult growing a tree? brilliant civilization Johnny, but suddenly disappear, do not see any signs of sustained development, people puzzled, so that future generations could not explain.

Nile is weeping, but only for flowed to its homeland, sad! autumn, in the Millennium a sigh "depicted in the lost ancient civilization, 7 years after the Cairo still not too much change.

Hope the Luxor

A night train bumps, 5 am we arrived in Luxor.

In the Dim dawn, history of Thebes quiet and gentle. Clean streets, neat and orderly architecture, warm and pleasant hotel ... ... Luxor, as though in a different attitude to the other side of the presents Egypt, a long history of the city, also retains the glorious civilization, the pace of the modern, never fall. Inevitably some surprises.

Luxor's Valley of the Kings, was for many years no one is interested in the desert.

However, in this land, do not know how much sleep Pharaoh epoch of Kings, has discovered a from ancient Egypt 17 dynasty to the 20th dynasty Pharaoh's Tomb of 62. United Kingdom archaeologist Carter House stands alone in the skies, silently watched coming and going of people. It was he, in 1922, discover the famous Pharaoh of Egypt sakaltutan scammon mausoleum. What kind of spirit and support the archaeology of scientists, which in ordinary people's view, it is difficult to understand. But science is, how it would be dangerous to climb. He is ashamed of their skin.

Visit of several walk are empty, leaving only the frescoes so beautifully and of the past.

Finally, the figure of Mongolian Pharaoh Tanzanian card mummies, we have the pleasure to see his body: dark as carbon black, as well as the face of bare feet, body covered by hemp yarn. Faced with such a thousands years ago in the body of the 19-year-old youth, I have no fear, but rather a kind of life deep in the heart of emotions. The ancients have excellent antiseptic technique, the Pharaoh who also have the right to have the ability to save their own bodies, but their souls really will come back to back world? in this remote place location tombs, expended, the last still inevitably tomb is stolen, the archaeological excavations. If the Pharaohs heaven knows, how to do? but emperors, who does not like to living in luxury, prestige still after death? Only I and other ordinary people, dead ashes into rivers, but also eliminates a lot of trouble.

Not far away from the Valley of the Kings of Kazakhstan mining Sue Queen Miu, the building itself was built, and it is desolate land Department, with the exception of some exquisite sculpture and stone, and not to let those of us from Temple Palace of Chinese people, but the Queen this similar Chinese history of Wu Zetian, highly controversial, it is very interesting.

Her first marriage, presumably with his brother, is forced to power; the second marriage, instead of non-personal, is bound to arrogate; third marriage, the husband gone? is the architect of the Queen's temple, I hope this is true love. Architect died and was buried next to the Temple of the Queen, long associated with the Queen. Since then sense, this is a happy woman. A woman's love story, from thousands of years ago to the present, repeated, and how many years has not changed.

When I arrived at Karnak Temple, the face of the wall runs, up to several hundred root shaped more than ten meters, facing the wonderful tale of sculpture, the sky of the obelisk, I was deeply shocked

! This nor did the construction of the 500 years of the Castle, a stone, a stone tablet, one bedroom, a Hall, the infiltration of the number of working people's sweat it! as the great wall of China, in Paris, the Louvre, the birth of art is sacrificed a lot of people happy. I finally understand the root causes of the decline of civilization in Egypt:% also defeat the shadow, the shadow, the cost of such enormous resources building some great temples, pyramids, cemetery, is left for posterity, monumental historical treasures, but ultimately drained of blood of the country, so has the brilliant become people sigh of regret ... wringing their hands over.

If I have a chance to Egypt, we choose must once again to Luxor Karnak Temple, the Temple of Luxor to pass up.

I will be slowly wander in the stone forest, go to the real pieces each root sculpture, I'm sure I can hear the whisper of the ancient people, hear their sorrow and joy will be heard! on modern people unlimited hope.

Luxor temples of the Nile, in blue light shines, so coordinated integration of city.

Smart and Parkour cabman Mohammed, handsome and flexible pony JESSIMARCA side wear wedding cruise; and dress wedding bride …. night of Luxor, lively and not noisy, beautiful and not a Swank, like a bit was lovely, and gentle woman, so subtle charming!

Future hugada

Go to Hu Jia da's tour bus, you need to join the police escort fleet.

More than 100 vehicles, mighty, prestige, all the civilian cars were as we give way, walk through the endless desert. Out of the city, dozens of kilometres of road, see village, see trees in this barren Outback region, fleet as old carrying teams, to give a feeling of safety, imagine if lone a car breaks down, this occurs is a terrible thing. It is said that this is Egypt Tourist Board of tourism development of the initiative.

In the heart of sand, and then add in the heart of sandbanks, the end of the endless desert, suddenly, our eyes was a bright blue, that's kind of blue, that's not true, that let people immerse yourself, like a dream.

However, it really is-red color.

It is with the colors of the sea, Egypt was able to determine in the desert, the construction of such a holiday city.

There are sea reefs Island, from glass to look the boat, the scale of the shape of the rich, it's amazing. Just as the journey, I've finally been Akira Halo, no longer enjoy the look of coral.

Our hotel has been slightly Phuket LAGUNA hotel district, near the town also has a small size, very simple bathing, but also lack of Coconut Grove's company, but the blue sea, white sand beach, is sufficient to give visitors the scoop here.

Natural conditions of the poor, which means tremendous input.

If only ten years later, here all facilities will become more sophisticated, future hugada will become a paradise on Earth.

PostScript

In Egypt, out of Egypt even more difficult, from hotel to airport, good for a whole two and a half hours, in the final ten minutes to board the plane.

Horror-stricken, Whacked, really not interested in chatting with people, seated next to the coincidence of a famous newspaper reporter of Egypt, was very enthusiastic and eager to learn Chinese friends on Egypt's idea. His love of the Chinese people, as we all encounter in Egypt for the adult and child on our show enthusiasm, so flattered.

Finally couldn't tell his disappointment on Cairo.

In the beginning, he expressed extreme frustration with, and told me yesterday that police cancel his two well-known journalist friends abroad, because they are the dissidents. The Government does not put the focus on economic construction, but rather to dictatorship. After a while he was in a very urgent tone he told me: "Although our Government is very bad, our building is also very backward, but Egypt is loves his country!"

Watched him hurry and sincere eyes, I was deeply moved.

Bless Egypt!
