In the history of sky, forward, forward, forward into (8)

Over time more ancient place

Get up early in the morning, while packing and appreciate a bit last night's results, and few colourful paper sand grass art and glittering silver, in the heart of evaluating this picture to someone, that's only silver bracelet to so-and-so, also did not give certain buying gifts and more.

Night in Aswan back when a shopaholic, until I found your own wallet, just enough to pay the hotel accommodation when they stop. Will do all of the remaining money plus a bit to Chen cite foreign debt, just pay for the hotel. So I put out a rogue's features to shew: "today play car you please!, if you are at the Luxor, I fail to cash, you have to lend me some money, do not interest!"

The railway station in the early morning of Aswan, only quiet abnormal waiting hall roof that old ceiling fans spin at the Glade.

The Dutch guns of patrol police station within ambling, eyes on every visitor's face was everything. To catch the early train to Luxor in most of the tourists like us, we all still keep their own luggage, or reading a book or a NAP, the station as a pencil sketch, no color, no sound. Until the train's whistle sounded before they broke the silence of the morning. In the train the spacious seats no image of sleep, woke up, we have arrived in Luxor. The old world's most prosperous cities now have just left the temple where the tall stone pillars support the history of the sky, we can only in these still towering stone columns between the memory of the once glorious.

The Sun is still relentless scorched the Earth.

From air conditioners full train down the sweat-soaked clothing immediately. Jumped from their nearest taxi, go straight to the Bank. A bottle of money do not have to worry about for livelihoods, mind at ease a lot of "non-Flash Cha K? FONT face =" Times New Roman "> LP recommended hotel stay. Room not very clean, air-conditioned. Men lying in bed and stretch his legs, unwilling to leave. I also took the opportunity to have the rest of the trip. Come to think of it, in fact, tourism is very hard thing is to first-hand look at these in the picture you can see things with their hands feel it's true that the heart of its value, so we were on their way to hard to put up with all kinds of hard, even harsh environment. And it really worth it? I always think, the most beautiful journey is in the process itself, is not that what is ultimately see. However, actually let me after hardships in the calendar, see only the mediocrity of color, I think I won't have a good mood.

And cool air conditioner gave a complex psychological struggle, we finally decided to go to before noon Egypt's most famous, most large scale Kanak Temple.

Jump on a taxi, we found that the driver is a grandfather, old to his hand grip the steering wheel has been non-stop trembling. We can't help but worry that, in such a car crazy place hands trembling grandfather can we safely to their destination. This way, we like the spot disease, have been staring at the hands.

Kanak Temple is magnificent.

Dozens of Lotus root huge cylindrical seemed to hold up the sky of Egypt, on its feet, I have a feeling of dizziness. Hand touch Golden stone pillar, understand that the truth of history. Temple of the inscriptions in fine everywhere, so far wall carved also retains the original bright colors, it is not difficult to imagine, when the temple was built, was so brilliantly. So, this is a time is afraid of the stay, this makes me feel Kanak Temple seems to be better than the old time. Remember that he and several friends with an older-us tour of the Palace, when standing at the Palace of blue stone, one stack with foot, side stone on the old saying: "look, you see the stone under the soles of my feet, no one is better than your country's history long!" old America listened helpless smiled, as a matter of expression. Now I think about it, think that this friend is really boring. History and memory, can be proud of, you can review, can be tampered with, you can deny, but history will never be used to show off. As the history of Egypt, brilliant, splendid, but now just left the Tower of stone for visitors to cherish.

We hid in the shadow of the stone, quietly enjoying it, and hope that we can put it all down all memory.

In the evening, we stroll on the Nile, while waiting for the Temple of Luxor lit by spotlights.

Luxor has the same quiet and the Aswan. While the tourists, but with absolutely no noise, even the hawkers on your entanglement or less irritating. Looking at such a small town of the Nile, we absolutely can't imagine that bustling capital Thebes is how. Ancient Egypt were unsolved not only these still spectacular monuments, leaving more or mysterious.

When the sunset Red River, Luxor Temple was lit up.

Gradually the darkness in the middle of the small town of Luxor, Luxor Temple illuminates is an exception to the magnificent. Luxor Temple, although not at strength and the Kanak Temple Grand, but its extent is not attractive. Ancient Egypt's architects are admirable, the temples were built so many, each building will be able to let people have different feelings, just look at the different shapes of the Temple of stone, can realize the architects of the Potter. Unlike the Kanak, Luxor Temple with a paper sedge shape stone pillar shape. Stonehenge paper top gather flowers graceful sedge and thick. Both sides are in front of the Shinto Sphynx quietly waiting, Kanak Temple is the seated RAM. Temple entrance tall obelisk just a lonely stand there. When later in Paris, the Concorde see another Obelisk, already after two years.

Sitting on a bed in the hotel, we have clearly resulted in fatigue.

Travel half, coupled with the hot weatherTo the physical cause of overdrafts, we are unconsciously Miss from home and comfortable bed. It was suggested, simply change the ticket in advance home!, Egypt's essence is seen, the temple was also of the other, if then went on to visit the temples, that will produce aesthetic fatigue. Into the left a little regret, will have more of excuses. So at ease sleeping, waiting for tomorrow to see the King and Queen of the Valley, the Valley, we returned to Cairo to vote!
