Space-time interleaving journey — I'm in Egypt 18 days (D11)

October 1, Luxor

Far to the other shore

5 a.m. just woke up because of fear of sleep, sleep last night.

6 point downstairs breakfast, met yesterday the attendant, he again let me get to eat, as usual, or declined. I didn't think I had finished, he really took a full of bread and an egg in a plastic bag to give me, motioned to me to get away, and then defer embarrassment, and only take it.

This morning's destination is the West Nile Valley of the King and Queen of the Valley in the hope of 1 point and a half ago, just a 2-point the bus to Hurghada.

I check out 7 points in time and send good luggage, travel company car late nearly half an hour to get to.

Ancient Egypt to the Nile, East of the East is the living world, the people living here, dedicated to the gods, and the sunset from the Hexi corridor is dead to rest of the world.

So we see today are on the East Coast, such as the temple, pyramids, tombs and Festival Hall in the West Bank. Our car to pass the bridge over the River, all the way to Luxor, run to the history of the Pharaoh and the Empress who slept in the Valley.

King Valley (the Valley of the Kings) is located in the mountains encircling, looking, everywhere are yellow sand, see the slightest signs of life.

The Valley has been excavated tombs 64 seats, of which 15 seat now open to visit. Tickets for the can arbitrarily 10LE visit 3 grave, if you want to take pictures, needs 5LE/tomb. Everyone in the car with the Guide Groove, chose three agreed that more distinctive.

The first is the figure of Francis 3 die Tomb (Tomb of Tuthmosis Ⅲ), its structure is particularly high, is built on the rocks, rather than the other tombs in the Valley, so dig down from the ground.

So you need to crawl some iron ladder, drilling walk after hunched down. Tomb still neck and neck in a two-tier, lower in some relatively more exquisite murals. Because this tomb belonged to King Valley's earlier, so wall mural is relatively simple, is neatly divided into one tiny rectangle, content to hieroglyphs and single-line patterns. But all in all colors are saved quite well, so difficult to 3500 years of history and are looking at. Together with a group of Scottish girl constantly used the term expression such as the amazing their excitement and awesome, I was alone anyway, just put all the impressions to himself well, really let me say, that what words cannot be used to describe the mood at this time.

Although the United States, but the grave-the land of the long, plus it is stuffy, feel like washing sauna, so it wasn't long before he left.

Then go to Rameses III's Tomb (Tomb of Rameses Ⅲ), a long walk along the wall painting with the life of the reflect the Pharaoh, the Sith than figure die 3-tomb of sure enough to exquisite many, more vivid colors. Walk along the sides and some small rooms for placing cremated. Tomb of the Pharaoh of the pattern after death, jieyin by the gods to another world of content, some reflect people's daily lives, such as trees, to dinner or something. Last visit of Rameses VI Tomb (Tomb of Rameses Ⅵ) is said to be King of the Valley, the largest and most beautiful one, because there are too many visitors, so requires no entry for tour guides in order to reduce the load on the inside. In my opinion, the structure and the previous similar special is the main Tomb in huge sarcophagus, and roof that brandishing a sun goddess of the sky. Of course, in the tomb and sarcophagus has empty and ancient Egypt who make a mummy by skilful technology enables the deceased "immortal", but filled with treasures of the vault was ultimately to escape the looters of patronage, some looters way according to the Mummy, with some in order to take away the body jewelry or even cut off her hands and feet, this fear is painstakingly constructed these catacombs of Pharaoh had imagined it.

Leave the King Valley to Queen Valley (the Valley of the Queens), actually, only three vaults can be used by other visitors, because only those empty walk, so you can see only one entrance on the ground.

Queen of the Valley of NAFI Nathalie Tomb (Nefertari Tomb) is the most beautiful tombs Egypt is Rameses II to his favorite Queen NAFI Nathalie built. This tomb tickets and expensive (100LE), limited to 150 people per day, per person and only 10 minutes in which to stay and no photography. According to Franco she said, scientists have argued that those who every day if you enter more than 150 people, exhaled carbon dioxide and water over a certain amount, they affect the Tomb mural of save. Sure enough, a walk into the walk we see a lot of big pipe to absorb water vapour in the Tomb.

I first saw the wall murals to understand what is called "worth the price", or rather "exceptional value".

All colors are extremely bright, except for a few damaged pictures, all seemed to be just like the color. Some people can't help but ask people this is guarding the tomb is not really the original 3000 years ago, the answer is Yes. Aside from color, the pattern in the picture are very beautiful, especially the NAFI Nathalie my portrait. The history of Egypt's most famous beauty wore white yarn skirt, plump and arm through white yarn looming very realistic. 10 minutes quickly in the past, administrators smile and urged us to leave. Maybe in this place, the time is getting extremely fast, 3000 years time is just a moment, or how to explain that the level of color.

The Valley of the other two tombs compared, it is worth mentioning, but feel free to stroll around in a circle to the next station of the Temple of Hatshepsut.

This Egypt history unique female Pharaoh Hatshepsut as the Festival Palace, is the mountain wall carved out of a total of three layers, each layer arrangement have neat corridor, very grand. However, because after the death of Hatshepsut Temple destroyed by its step, internal decoration are not preserved. TempleThis female Pharaoh for men's dress, she has a statue of a man comes to show her and there is no difference between males, fully capable man. Unfortunately she died, all contributions are step-to erase it, even this temple could not escape misfortune.

Return path, we the Kings valley entrance Mann before giant like Lennon.

The statue stone weathering severe, face destroyed, but thousands of years have been quietly watching, so that they become King Valley landscape of signs, but also the visitors will come to.

1 p.m.-back to the hotel baggage, just to catch the train to Hurghada, called lucky hearts darkened.

Who knows the guide but don't know where to come out, hard to sell travel in Hurghada. I originally had no intention to do this, plus the worry that catch the bus, so very unpleasant. In the meantime Francis couple, and I leave to go back to Cairo, the sight of this scenario is not assured that repeatedly confirmed all right before leaving.

We get out at 2 o'clock, just in time to the station.

2-time driving, the car's air conditioner bus, sit fairly comfortable, but all the way to constantly stop along the way, good in full green farmland, look at the scenery does not feel that the time passed slowly. The car had a big city after through the desert, the scenery becomes very tedious, I know that I and the Nile River has drifted away.

Buy tickets at the station of being told, I only need four hours to reach, in effect until 8 pm only to Hurghada Red Sea.

The car was soliciting people surround the hotel, just find a home by the sea. Get there found beside the sea is not fake, but with many uncompleted. However the hotel's roof garden really is very close to me, although simply drop a couple of the cane, and dark in sight sea, lightness and refreshing sea breezes quickly accumulated fatigue of the day to the wind. I am looking for a single room with bathroom (20LE), bath and found water such as tears, man says the biggest water here is that way, you can only run into a public bathroom to wash.

After the roof and the shopkeeper on tomorrow's snorkeling, his asking price 80LE because than Luxor travel company cheap, so suddenly forget counteroffer agreed to it.

The shop also introduced from France v to I know that she is going to stay here for three months, every day to go diving. See V is a diving enthusiasts, she strongly recommended me to go diving, saying that it is much easier than snorkeling. In fact I visit Egypt's main purpose is to see the monuments, Hurghada is also scheduled to visit just to see what the Red Sea, two days before the hearing Franco she introduced before a resolve to snorkeling, dive is not mentally prepared. Speaking of preparations, remembered her even swimwear no belt, busy ask where can I buy one, the result is very enthusiastically V soon borrow something to me. The rest of the evening sitting on the roof blowing sea breeze, while also not able to see the looks of the Red Sea, but it is very different from the previous day, the day of the feeling that the other side of the scenery is in my heart has died away.
