Article 07 chapter journey: Luxor-door stone, Imperial Valley farmers, the Queen's Palace, the Temple of Luxor and the Kanak (top)

Door Nong colossus (20 November)

Today is our journey arrangements busiest day, because we want to go to five places!

5 am, we got to eat on the cruise our last breakfast in the lobby of lighting, I leave the picture.

Until you want to leave when we suddenly realize that our Nile Cruise Tour is about to end. We say goodbye to this block, as if a thousand miraculous baby Mobile hotel, heart really is not. Station in lobby looked up, cruise Hall handrail and column are painted XX's favorite kind of soft grey green at the top of the short column with ivory stone carving into round handrail, soft and pleasing. Hall hanging around Green tropical plants, soft and rich layers of light shine, make you feel relaxed and comfortable. XX and then take a close look at it again, put it all in the mind of deep and profound, with televised came ashore.

Ashore, you see the "TravCo" company bus and faithful waiting for us, after the luggage settled, the car to the West Bank of Luxor.

West Nile is the famous Valley of the Kings and Queen Valley location, outside the ancient pyramids almost beyond Egypt's Pharaoh's Tomb saved here.

The car all the way out from the Terminal to the South, come to a bridge, cross the bridge to the West and North for approximately 40 minutes after entering the Valley of the Kings.

On the way through the many West Bank residents, the facades are painting murals of various's Tomb, or the story of the Pharaoh theme House is decorated like a flower. Nana tour guide again and we introduced the residents of the West Bank of Luxor: ancient Egypt have been put on the East of the Nile as a living God and man, the temple and the common people lived on the East Coast, and West Coast is the place where the deceased died, the Pharaoh's tomb is in the West Bank. But with population density increases, many people are forced to live in the West Bank. Until now, most of the people in the West Bank are rather poor, but the Luxor is an exception. People here are very dilapidated House, but people are said to have a lot of money, in order to explore the Emperor's Tomb, but also in other places for them to cover the House so that they move, the residents of the West Bank of Luxor is actually willing to relocate. Original here has a clue, I heard that almost every household has its own grave digging a grave for crafts, has engaged in the mining and selling out. After all, Egypt after other peoples and countries for thousands of years of rule, for later Egypt, ancient Egypt has not are the national wealth, but land can "gold rush" of resources. When our eyes can see Imperial Valley hills, can be seen as though someone dug gold the same all over the mountains of stolen cave. Positive thinking when we suddenly saw between the plain of the Valley there are several hot air balloon floating in the air. It was in the West Bank of Luxor new tourism project: take the hot air balloon tour Imperial Valley, 45 minutes 60 beautiful knife. Unfortunately our mission without this project, the Mission has heard of Taiwan.

When our eyes move from a hot air balloon, the agro-giant like the door in our eyes.

Door agricultural giant statue (Colossi of Memnon), call —! this is the name of a later tampered with.

This in fact is located in West Nile and Imperial Valley between fields of two giant like rock, it was Anita ureterp Meng Huo III (Amenhotpe Ⅲ) statue in front of the House of Pharaoh, the Hamon Huo StEPP III is the 18th Dynasty Pharaoh akhna Thom BT's Daddy, hen-pecked husband, the name of the ox X Teil, travels in front of his wife said there is a Museum in Egypt was as high as two people of the stone is he and his wife Teil. But now the temple itself has no trace, now behind them is in ruins, the estimate is that the temple is the Pharaoh heard behind other Pharaoh in building his temple was demolished to go make your own stone building materials, but does not suffer death, Pharaoh will really make use of the door.

I heard that the Pharaoh epoch alien Greece here cloudysky stood two stone, local people do not know what it is, but the statue after the earthquake had a crack, when there is wind blows in the desert, stone will be sound sobbed, this may lead to later Pharaoh believed to be haunted and dared stone stone removed.

In ancient Greece Homer, was the goddess of the dawn door Nong Chios Earl's son, Ethiopian King, who in the Trojan war, led his troops to the rescue is surrounded by Troy Greece army, but eventually was great hero Achilles (XX Idol Buladepite in film "Troy" inversion of Achilles) quite atrocity in the chest and died. Dawn goddess Earl Chios in post-war ruins in search of his own son, but found nothing, sad, she heard plain came out of the wind, it was the door crying in the wind farm, which is a Homer in the exclamation of the Trojan war great also borrow from this fragment shows on war brings to people suffering. This story originally and Egypt, but nothing came from Greece's mixed Pharaoh but ingenious sequel of this story continued into the land of Egypt: the goddess of the dawn Earl Chios urge Zeus gave him immortal fuselage in Thebes (Luxor, is here) put up his huge statue. Every time before sunrise, when dawn goddess rises, unyielding door farmers will issue of crying, so is the world known as the "cry of farmers". Story while moving, but inevitably there are sacrifice the stiff feeling.

But even more faint at the back.

To the Roman age, the Roman ruler plug onrus emperor was also quite like the locals, Huairou Egypt came to see fresh, it really heard the cry, but he also saw the statue appeared after the earthquake, the construction cracks continue to weathering broken, lives were patched. Let them Halo cuisine is patched after door farmers like never sing songs.

At the dawn of the statue statue seen

Is there an unutterable subconscious in strong collision sensor – a stretch of wilderness suddenly erected two seats up to 20 meters of the huge rock sculpture, do not see any around can be associated with it, like a fairy story pulled the Lord of the rings suddenly appeared in front of the giant, is so high in the open, so far, so the impact of the sensory organs. Statue sits in the rock base, local details in addition to the familiar ancient Egypt scarf, is a Wolf Books were considered, but we can clearly see that the legs natural protraction, bending and lifted his hands on his knees, the overall styling natural vivid, proportion and well proportioned, with Hin en, in distant El Kur-en-peaks (Al-Qurn) — where the Valley sleeping in ancient Egypt generations Pharaoh-relieved that gives people the feeling is quiet, mystery, AWE, desolate …

XX is going to self moving, suddenly felt the familiar look of this statue, which was the iron Warriors of the blood in the movie King Kong! ~ ~ ~

Imperial Valley

Left door agricultural giant like, we started into the Imperial Valley.

Although there was barren, but access to the Imperial Valley in highway built but really good, it seems that Egypt who knows "to be rich, first road" reasonable! na to distribute the tickets, we entered the Imperial Valley Gorge. Waiting for us is the land of the car battery, the original of this gap, the actual distance we are going to visit the mausoleum, and the Imperial Valley there is a long distance.

The road along the River Valley of seven turned eight, suddenly into view a peak.

It is the symbol of the pyramid of El Kur-en-peaks (Al-Qurn). It is said that before Pharaoh's Tomb are placed in a pyramid that tomb built pyramid shape is as ancient Egypt who thinks the triangle marker is a symbol of the Sun's rays shining smiles, the mausoleum was built in the shape of the Sun God would receive protection. However great the dew on the ground of the pyramid is a tempting Pharaoh wealth warehouse, let the world stealing as plain as the nose, then the new Kingdom era, clever Pharaoh would think of their tomb built in hidden place of safety. This has a natural appearance of El pyramid-Koor en peaks and valleys below the Pharaohs, natural cemetery, let's learn about the Feng Shui treasure, and the 18th Dynasty Pharaoh after more than 60 (now only to find so many, the last two years, it is said that new found) ligation as his own pile of mausoleum built here. But only the Millennium thief, a thief-proof is not the Millennium, a Pharaoh's wisdom that must withstand the intelligence of the masses but Ah, the Pharaoh's Tomb be comprehensive to steal, and later the priests and the Pharaoh Mummy transferred elsewhere, still bound to the destiny of stolen, 60 tomb only sakaltutan scammon's Tomb has not been death. The reason is simple, because this Pharaoh died very young (18), nothing is too important, so other Pharaohs (Rameses v, VI) in the construction of their tomb and can't find a place, his tomb was built in the figure of Mongolian Taka mausoleum, but didn't think above do sakaltutan scammon's shield, it keeps sakaltutan scammon's Tomb escape a stand.

Imperial Valley at the entrance to the tomb of the emperor with 62 seat map, KV number identification (estimated KV is king valley).

On the ground is still foreign archaeologists ring up a piece of ground in the Valley of the Kings unearthed, it is estimated that there are no secrets to be discovered.

Nana guide said actually inside of the tomb is the same, there are three Tomb, there are four Tomb (sakaltutan scammon's tomb is only two passages), listening to you and let's House three room, two room almost left-hander.

At the recommendation of Nana tours we saw three: Rameses IX, Rameses VI, Rameses I. That you want to also receive money sakaltutan scammon's tomb is not going to see, because the pattern is very small, but the real treasure is put in Egypt Museum we have seen!

Because of the Tomb are not allowed to take pictures in the photo, we only took some doors in the introduction and the entrance as souvenir.

XX after coming back to the Web and book got some pictures to make up for it, do not take photographs of regret.

Pharaoh's tomb is really simple, a downward slope of short, wide, almost no ladder is the modern building of channels divided into and out of two road.

When walking stairs very difficult, but not too much in the air passages, more people would be very boring. In the field, our mission oldest pair of Mrs. Prof. at the roadside a vomiting, old or hard Ah.

All of the Pharaoh's Tomb has been breached, to stand at thieves becomes empty, only the frescoes tells hell looks like.

Go to the tomb of both sides with bright paints mural maps, very elegant, ornate, unimaginable. These murals have been around for years, actually still sansiqian so vivid, magnificent. Drawing mainly depicting the Pharaoh's undead is gods bless scenes, as well as smooth the reincarnation of the undead.

Pharaoh's death to take the famous "Final Judgement" (final judgment): the patron saint of mummies Anuruddha Bissell lead souls to hell of Pharaoh, for the trial of the dead.

He will then Pharaoh's heart in the end, the balance the other side the Mart feathers (Mart-Maat is justice, truth, God of the order, the daughter of the Sun God) if heart and feather weight equivalent, then the person can lift to heaven and eternal life with the gods, if feathers heavy than the heart, this man is guilty, will be hell, his heart will be eaten by the dog. It is said that each Pharaoh of the souls of the contents of the book, apart from God praise, presentation of own merits, there are some mantra is to Pharaoh "to cheat", if and when the trial not answer certain questions, by God's displeasure, written on Tomb walls of undead book these spells can prompt the Pharaoh as read to escape the torment.

In our tour of Rameses VI's Tomb, the deepest impression is the painting on the ceiling of the statue of Noumea, hands raised, the solar disc

She swallow the Sun, make it through her body after the complete process of born again, very shocking, yet seen.

The final judgment, and the Tomb on the ceiling of the modeling butenuth God, the meaning of color bright and content is meaningful, we can buy paper sedge classic picture in the picture.

XX in the back also many Kings Valley archaeological story found up to now, have actually found in the Imperial Valley approximately 120 more Pharaoh's Tomb, divided into the Western Imperial Valley, East Imperial Valley (we see East Imperial Valley).

All of the Pharaoh's tomb is located in can see El Kur-en-peaks (Al-Qurn) of a vast plateau. Excavation work is ongoing, it is estimated to stand at work and haven't stopped.
