Luxor temple: describe that photo. Temple of Queen Hatshepsut

Valley of Nilu rozdilila
Luxor - a lodge of the living
See the city of the dead, quiet, hto sleep
Already vіki in the tombs of the dark,
By myriads of paradise,
In the hope of knowing yourself
I know how to come to the earth.
Wheat to stand there, read,
Come in to see the sun,
All taumnitsi quiet vikiv tanuchi,
The riddle beckons us to itself.
Okhniy look to Luxor of straightening:
There is the temple of Karnak of disobedience,
Shoot with gold of sorrow
To Rome the king was swallowed.
There Cleopatra sat
I rozkish my syyala,
About the rosum of the choloviks of the cheesy stars.
All the prices are for you
Zberigak at the ruins of the sumny
Scarab beetle, wine symbol is quiet,
Hto buv on the rosum above us, for all.
І. Mordovina.

Lead Nila split the Ancient Egypt into two parts: I will go down, into the kingdom of the living, that kingdom of the dead. The palaces of the pharaohs and the majestic temples were built on the Nil birch tree to glorify the gods; on the backwoods birch there will be piracy, tombs and temples. At our hour Luxor is a small place on the right birch of the Nila, about 640 kilometers away for a week from Kaire at the place of ancient Fiv. There is one of the leading archaeological centers of the world. In the light of the German place, de bulo has been used for such a great number of ancient monuments. Monuments of Luxor become one third of all historical events. Here, the ruins of the great temple of Amun were rooted, awaiting for Pharaoh Amenhotep III (1455-19 r. BC). Budivelny robots trivialized for the offensive rulers right up to the Greco-Roman period inclusive.
The Karnak Temple stretched out over 80 hectares, which, for good reason, is a complex of monumental religious structures.

The temple complex of Luxor became the main sanctuary of Ancient Egypt.... On the Nila birch tree, at the Misti Zhivikh, the temples and palaces of Luxor and Karnak marvel at the facades of the city.
At the entrance to the temple there is an alley of sphinks-rams. The ram is one of the involvement of the god Amun, which is the temple of the Karnak temple complex.

Pass the alee sphinks and minayuchi the straining pylon, take it on the territory of the temple.

Right-handed at the entrance - another row of sphinks - rams.

І before the skin - a small statue of the Pharaoh, yak Pharaoh - before the protection of the god Amun.

A number of sheep are trivial to the temple of Ramses II.

And on the wall, the halls of the basement are like the blessing of God, Pharaoh Karak Vorogiv Egypt.

The hand at the entrance is the chapel of Merezha II. They have three entrances to three sanctuaries - to the gods Amon, his squad Mut and Sinu Khonsu.

At the center - the remnants of the colonade, which was injected.

The axis is so visible, those that are deprived of one of the sanctuaries.

Slid down the hall of the taut colonial hall.

Earlier, above the columns, buv dakh, ale sent to the west of the temple, and to the earthworm 27 until our ery - dakh collapsed, and now the colonies are destroying the sky. The central 12 columns are 23 meters high. Rashta trohi nizche. Colonies are covered with barrels with historical and mythical stories about the life and exploits of the pharaohs.

Vyyshovshi from the pillar hall in one of the passages, minemo of the offensive was filled up to the pylon, at which there is a group of statues of the pharaohs.

The walls were filled with a kind of labyrinth. Then by rapt at the aisle there is a view of the obelisk

Then I know I already know the heads of the Pharaohs.

The verticals to the temple of Karnak are obeliski. One of them was set up by Queen Hatshepsut, the female pharaoh.

From one more obelisk, erected by Hatshepsut, it had lost its top, so it could lie on the ground.

And order is a great scarab beetle on a pedestal.

At the waters of the lake, the sacrifices were washed before the rituals. Scarab beetle of the establishment of Amenhotep III. The Egyptians are trying to figure out how to go around the whole statue of these times and touch with their hand, then the idea of ​​the bazhany will be okay.

The Colossi of Memnon are the majestic twenty-meter statues, which are the first to climb your way, if you see the place of the dead. If for a long time the gigantic veletni boules poklikanі to protect the memorial Temple of Amenhotep III, which, unfortunately, was spun until falling asleep. You should stand up to 21.5 meters, and you can imagine the stench of Amenhotep III, how to sit, for the life of God, on earth. The statues themselves are made from the monolithic blocks of the search engine, which is absolutely unrecognizable in the order of the boats for deliveries from the cars of Memphis, about 700 km away from Luxor.

Olos Memnon is a dedicated temple complex, which will become the most pompous and pompous in Egypt. At the same time, the memorial church will be rounded up through parts of the pouring of Nila, and the surplus will be picked up on stone blocks and vicories for other architectural projects.

It is known from historical documents, from the 27th century BC. In the ancestors of Roman and Greek authors, they knew about the ones that one of the statues saw a marvelous prolonged sound, like a stoogin. The zabobonny Egyptians violated, as well as lost the souls of ancient pharaohs, even if they let it go, they were victorious with temperature changes.

The Valley of the Tsar is to reach the great expanse in the distinguished mountains and for its archaeological significance, one of the most important places on Earth, fragments of which there are known numerous tombs of the rulers of the Ancient Egypt.
Ancient Egypt has a broader mystical culture about the transition of souls into life. In order to reach the end of the day, it’s physically necessary to take care of the graves of the bully tombs, and they are encouraged to be quiet, who could allow them to help the spirit go to hell. Most of the kings were at the Valley of the Tsar.

Roztashovana on the western birch tree Nila navproti the place Fivi (modern Luxor), the Valley of the Kings was victorious as a king's beast stretching for 500 years, approximately from the 16th to the 11th centuries BC. Accepted 63 tombs of the pharaohs and kings to pass by the Valley of the Tsars. The tombs of virizans in the skeleton, most often the abductions of the entrance tunnel of the head of the staff up to 200 m-code, go down to the depth of up to 100 m-code, and end up with some rooms. Inter'єri is a wonderful butt of the architecture of the ancient Egypt of the paramidal form. Pictures that basilєfi, which embellish the walls of the tombs, tell about the life and exploits of the deceased. On the surface of the tombs, there are ledges. Photographing is not possible all the way.

Majestic Temple of Queen Hatshepsut near Deir el-Bahri half burrowing at the skeleton of the western bank of the river Nil - the Land of the dead.

Vaughn bull red. Daughter of Pharaoh Thutmose I, one of the floodplains of the Upper and Lower Egypt. She didn’t have a child, and because of the death of a cholovik, Pharaoh Thutmose II, Queen Hatshepsut took power from her hand - unaffected by those who lay on the throne of the king, the synonyms of the woman. Mayzhe 20 years Hatshepsut ruled Egypt, ale of the deceased cholovik, Pharaoh Thutmose III, erased much of the tsar and the clue about her. Ale navit surplus funeral temple of Hatshepsut celebrating stronger enemy.

The sanctuary of the Virubano temple at the skeleton, the ground-based congregation is built up of three large-scale terraces, on which gardens have grown for a long time and glittered at one-of-a-kind stakes. The terasi boule with descent, on the lower terasi boulevard there is a portico of 22 columns, adorned with relief images, the majestic posts of Hatshepsut stood at the courtyard, and the terassa felt the kam'yan with the attributes of the imperials of the Lower A long time ago, a road led to the temple, from the sides of which sat the sphinxes with the heads of Hatshepsut in the image of the god Osiris.

The entrance to the sanctuary of Hatshepsut is located on the upper terrace. If there were massive statues of Hatshepsut and the majestic Kamyan colonies here.

The sanctuary of the queen was revered by one of the nairozkishni in the Ancient Egypt. The piedloga of the bullet was wicked with slabs made of gold and silver, the walls of the head hall were broken from the media, covered with an alloy of gold and silver, the doors were made from cedar. The crypt of the buli sanctuary is filled with a picture, and in the halls there were 200 sculptures, including the majestic Marmurov statue of Hatshepsut. Most of the sculptures were buried and buried in the temple at the order of Pharaoh Thutmose III. The statues, the images and the riddles about Queen Hatshepsut were haunted everywhere, all over the Upper and Lower Egypt. The temple itself was truly a wonder of the engineering thought of the ancient Egyptians. Iakshcho, for example, come in, you can’t see the descent. To be rented with all kind of style.

Sanctuaries of Ancient Fiv (Luxor and Karnak)

"Stovarni Fivi", which was called the cemetery in the ancient times, became a part of the Ancient Egyptian period of the New Kingdom (XVI-XI centuries BC), since the capital moved to the middle of the year. The expelling of foreign tribes, the defeat of the Syrian and Nubian tribes, transformed Egypt into one of the strongest powers of the world, and Fivi - on the most important place, opposed by Homer. Itself here, on the banks of the Nilu, were born the most beautiful art of that hour, and the most recent architectural memorials. At Fivakhs, the most beautiful architects and sculptors of the land were praised. With the help of the tsar's will, the doors of the majestic temples of the complex, the middle of the monumental masterpieces of Luxor and Karnak. Smells do fend off the grandeur of the scale, the swing, the folding and the water-hourly readable composition of the plan.

The architect of celebrities is quietly rocking Ineni, writing: “I am whispering about those who are very corny ... Those who judged me to open it, Bulo Great!

"Velich" is a mabut, a very precise word for the ancient holy sanctuaries of the Fivans. The stench could not be іnshim, as vrahuvati vіruvannya Egyptians and the sacred nature of the royal power. I would like to know that the temple has run into the place of the real perebuvannya God. Here sacrifices were made to the gods, here the sacrifices asked the gods to seize the land of that people. The temple of mav is essentially symbolic, being a substitute for the model of Vsesvit. Yogo stele symbolized the heavenly crypt, the crow was adorned with images of children and suzirs, Chovna Sontsya, near which boules of images "urei" (sleepy snakes, or the majestic heavenly vultures). At the lower part of the wall there is a church built of boules, namalovania roselini, in front of the lotus, in the temples above the primordial swamp and symbolizing the fertility of the earth. Mіzh "sky" and "earth" the Egyptians covered the walls with bas-relief paintings. The scenes of ritual ceremonies and ceremonies were pictured on them. The colonies who were trying to see the crypt of the temple symbolized the chotiri stovpi, on which the sky lay. The shape of the ciches of the supports of the nagaduvala of the stem of the roselin: papyrus means modern innovation, lotus means light, populations from water, as the archetype of all living and nonliving. Tsia cosmic symbolism of a wide expansion in the period of the era.

The Kozhen Pharaoh, having enthralled with his obovyazyu yak buduvati new temples, and he took care of the restoration and expansion of the old. The robots resumed themselves near the middle of the day, the inner ones, and sank into the middle of the name. In front of the old façade, a new colonade was erected, a great pilon was held, etc.

The Luxor temple itself is the most characteristic of that dating, but before the new "they laid their hand" not for a dozen pharaohs, who ruled at an early hour, but they themselves, repaired from the tsars of the XII and XIX dynasties, and for an hour from 2000 to 1200 BC ... That is, it’s a fact, it’s a fact, by itself, an old architectural record.

The temple is a collection of bouvs of dedication to the Egyptian god Amon, the patron saint of Fiv, who was responsible for the Sonce. Earlier, the cult sporum of Amun, laid down by the kings of the XII dynasty, was known in the whole world, the stones of which were sent to the future. I will justify my distant ancestors by continuing Thutmose III, as having arrived before Budova for prayer, I went to three supplications, assigned to the tours of Amon, his warrior Mut and Sin Khonsu, who, for reassignments, came from Karnak to Luxor to Luxor. Tutankhamun, Ramses II, and Pharaoh Amenhotep III made the most of the additions to the temple on the day. I have built a temple for the Holy Trocha, the Old Prayer of Thutmose, and the Troja lower to the Nil, but also parallel to the current. For this idea, the architects arrived at the sanctuary of the miracle of the front section with colonnades, as they do hostile to tourists, as they come to Luxor.

The temple at Luxor is that great complex of the sanctuary at Karnatsi buli on the road, which was guarded by the sphinxes. Throne statues of the Pharaoh from the Black Granite stood on the offense of the sides. In front of the facade of the temple there were two obelisks and a series of magnificent statues of the pharaoh. One obelisk was saved, two throne statues and one that stands. Before the speech, the obelisk, which was taken care of, now embellished the square of Zgody in Paris.

Behind the pylon facade there is a courtyard, two rows of columns along the perimeter. Wall boules in the barrels on religiynі those who have gone before us are deprived of one, so the image is going religiynu. At the entrance of the courtyard to the entrance of Amenhotep III, the throne statues of the pharaoh and the royal retinue stand on the sides. Having passed through the passage, you move up to a 52-meter column gallery, which can be stacked in seven pairs of columns, and you can form bundles of papyrus. The height of the columns is 16 meters. Tsya kam'yana alley veda to the offensive yard, de erection of the statue of Ramses II of that squad. You can go through the vestibule, and go to the zali for the sacred chavna to the sanctuary, where you can support the machotiri, you can eat at the other courtyards, awakened by Amenhotep. There is also a discharge from a sub-row of columns at the form of a papyrus stalk from a closed bud of a leaf. Here, there was a statue of the god Amun, which was transported to the sacred chapel at the days of the religious saints. Among the ancillary primitives, up to which lay the prayer Mut ta Khonsu, the greatest interest of the wikliks Budinok people of Amenhotep III. Nastinny barrelsky primacy to depict the people of the pharaoh - they fix it at the moment of conception (the role of the father gra, naturally, the god Amon), the vagiteness of the queen, the development of the child and the formulation of the ka right up to the moment of the nation. The mothers of the Pharaoh before the hour of the flat were helped by the gods themselves. The remaining picture of the tsієї serії - the scene of the accession of the pharaoh to the throne.

Recovering from the 19th dynasty of the pharaohs, the role of becoming a temple complex near Karnatsi, with facilities near the private part of Fiv on the Nilu birch tree, became an important role. Being in a stretch of two thousand rock and a characteristic image of the New Kingdom, starting around 1500 BC. That is, for the rule of the tsars of the XVIII dynasty. In addition to the great temple of the same god Amun, it was prompted by the helpless men for the size of the prayers. There was a small lake in the early days of the sanctuary, which played an important role in the religious ceremonies.

Trochs for the next day roztashovavsya area of ​​the sanctuary of the goddess Mut, adornments with hundreds of throne sculptures, vikonanih from the diorit and granite, that enclosed by a high wall. However, at Karnak most of being in Thutmose III. At the temple of Amon, I won’t know that Queen Hatshepsut’s awakening was a hall for a divine tour and a hall for a divine tour, from a horny granite, with a small pylon at the entrance. There is a small hall-vestibule between the entrance and the hall for the chavna, where two granite supports were installed. The monoliths symbolized the Lower and Upper Egypt, and the boules were decorated with images of a lotus and papyrus, with the emblems of two parts of the land. Stink to stand until the present.

Ale nibil'sha sporuda, prompted by the pharaoh, is the architectural complex at the main part of the temple ensemble. Wines to be stored in the great hall for the holy and powerless annexes around her. A hall of distributions for five aisles-nets, wiring perpendicular to the axis of the plan of the temple. The top butt of the cathedral-type planning: the roofing of the head nave spiral on the pivoting support and so hang over the stele of the first nave - ships. At the head of the ship there is a window, through which you have consumed the light in the middle. The temple of the bull's stele is finished in blue and adorned with golden stars. Інші, vuzhchі nefi bouli vіdokremlenі one out of one chotirikutny stoves, covered with basilofs. The Navkolishnі hall is decorated with thin wall-reliefs.

Suchasny viglyad, the great temple of Amun, adding the same epoch. Pharaoh Taharka, nubієts for walking, putting a sub-row of columns behind the butt of the temple in Luxor in front of the pylon of the head entrance. Precisely unwittingly, since the awakening of Pylon I, it seems as if it had ended right after the Ptolemies, since the majestic courtyard was established in front of Pylon II. Kintseva composition to the temple of Amon repeated the tradition of planning Egyptian temples.

Zagalom a complex of sanctuaries near Luxor and Karnats and the present day is given about those who gave the meaning of the Egyptians to the religious comprehension of their life and ob'ektam worship. I would like to see the myths lost from the legend, and the host of Egyptian gods have long been reimagined into mythological images, the stench can tell us about the share of the old people no less, not less about the active chronicles of history.

The living and the dead are called Luxor. Until New Hour, the place wore the name of the Great Fivi, and the prefix "great" is not a vipadkov, it was just the life of the ruling era of the greatest pharaohs of the era.

The history of the place at the last

Even in 21 centuries BC. Misto Luxor becoming Vin is known at once on two banks of the Nilu, ale girla of the rychka bouly is not just a dzherel vodi, but has played a sacramental role in the life of the tubers. Nil called himself Styx and subdivided into two parts: Svit of the Living and Svit of the Dead. On one side of the rychka rose and shone palaces, temples, marmor stitches, panuval and seething life.

Luxor, Egypt - the place of the living

Tse garne misto maє tsikavu history. During the period, since Luxor Egypt had become its capital, the land was experiencing a development of architectural culture. The names of the ruling pharaohs of that period are depicted on these tombs and monuments, in the middle of them Ramses, Seth, Tetmos, Tutankhamun, Amenofis and іn. from gold, medium, expensive cameos and midi, odyag and navi leaves.

The light of the living near Luxoria, the temples hung right up to the sky in the middle of the laurel leaves, the aleys of the sphinxes greeted the guests of the temples with their glimpses, piece oasis of green in the very center of the wasteland smelled freshness, the smell The rozkіshny palatsy snatched simple mandarins, as they pummeled them more stubbornly, greet them. Tse buli majestic constructions, thousands of people were interceded at once, they covered themselves with textile capes from the first cambric in the light, which appeared in Egypt. Yakshho Inozemtsi Chuli Im'ya Land Egypt - Luxor is virinav in front of them, sacred palats and temples, monuments and great rinks. Tse bulo maynє misto.

When you see Luxor - Egypt to the light of the living - you will see the oldest and the greatest temple in the land - the Luxor temple. 2,100 years old, standing BC stand, and the stench is like that and stand there, protecting the calm of Amon. Not a lesser great temple was erected in Karnatsi for the sun god Amon-Ra. The greatness and monumentality of Budov and the architects were thinking, as at the clock, if the ball was mechanized every day, kam'yan were shaving 2 tons of it to a height of 20-30 meters.

From the light of the living to the light of the dead

Having finished his rule with the light of the living, the skinned pharaoh has seized the right bik Nila, having consumed the light of the dead at Luxor - Egypt. The valley of Tsarits and the valley of Tsar lay on the left birch of the rivulets, then there were 40 tendrils, there were Tutmes 1, Tutmes 2, Tutmes 3, Tutankhamun, Hatshepsut, Madinet-Abu and іnshі. Bagato mustache is very much in the skeletons, only when the pace of movement is 70 meters. Such churches, as at the very least, violated the message of death, dozens of rockets broke out, embellished and re-imagined at the sanctuary. Some of the fellows didn’t jump at the riches of the dead pharaohs, the tombs of the cursed gods, and the skinheads, who had touched the gold of the king of the past, was guilty of the riches of the dead.

The light of that wealth of the past will beckon us and for the present. In 1979, the city of Luxor was named by UNESCO as an all-sacred decline. Wind up to the living "museum of just the sky" - Luxor. Egypt does not shout in front of all its beauty, hto bachiv tse misto. Hundreds of thousands of tourists visit here. For the majority of mandates, who see Egypt, Luxor (photo in the Internet - that was confirmed) is one of the main memorials.

For the first time on our way - the ancient city of Luxor.

Luxor - the place of the pharaohs

Singingly, it is important to know a person, as there is nothing for the whole place, in which there are such a number of ancient memorials. The largest museum of the sky.

Luxor, on a place where there was a coli, was the capital of Ancient Egypt Fivi, which was built for 2500 years, being 500 kilometers away from Kaire.

From Hurghadi, El-Guni and Makadi to Luxor you can take a bus. An hour at the road is approximately from chotiroh to five years. From Kaire - by bus for 11 years on the road, or you can get there anyway. From Sharm-El-Sheikh - deprived of lіtakom (on a bus road, a loan of 15 years).

Over the course of an hour, the ancient place of Fivi was growing, it sounded like it was found in Ussiy Egypt. The first day of life in Luxor is a museum, or a temple, or a palace.

Singingly, see chuli about those who are in Egypt є "place of the dead" ... So the axis is about Luxor itself. In one part of the city, on the old birch tree, Nil is home to the present inhabitants of the place ("the place of the living"), and in the other half of that there are the empires of the pharaohs and sacred temples. It’s so called “the place of the dead”, they knew their last lane of the king of Ancient Egypt at the moment, since the Egyptian pharaohs stopped hovati in the pyramids. I tse bulo per hour of Thutmose the First (1504-1492 pp. E.).

For the chick, it’s turned into a special place - the valley at Fivakh bilya pidnizhya gir on the backwoods birch Nil, which I named Valley of Tsariv ... They were wishing in the Valley of Tsars for a stretch of five centuries, and there was formed a circle of necropolises (not a majestic tsvintar, which is built up from impotent supporters, crypts and underground galleries).

Found and the largest fivan necropolis to get involved necropolis of Intefa ... The entombment necropolis was built, for example, near the viglyad graves, which are located on the plains of the graves, or the tombs buried in the ground. There are even more abundant steles, and in the middle of them there is a stele from the images of the Pharaoh and from five mislivsky dogs.

Have necropolis of Al-Hoh Hovali the victims of the rulers of Egypt. The tombs were violated right in the skeletons, and then we went into the place together with a corridor, and then suddenly down to a depth of up to 100 meters. All of them ended up with small rooms, the steles of those walls were disguised by little ones, so they spoke about the life of those who were taken from them.

Here are the tombs of the sacrificer Puimr, the sculptor of the watches of Amenhotep III - Ipuki, the royal secretary of Userkhet.

Necropolis of Mentuhoteps II and II I - as a result of the recent life, a garniy complex was built, which will be stored in the tombs, the purchase of the temple and their construction.

Al-Assassif necropolis Tim's celebrations, there are 500 burials of Egyptian pharaohs and nobles, memorial temples of pharaohs and queen Hatshepsut on this territory, the remnants of a funeral temple in honor of the god Amon-Ra at the sight of two statues of Amenboshotep.

Tutankhamun's tomb - The most famous sorceress in the Valley of Tsariv. Especially valuable is the stronghold of the youngest pharaoh Egypt (she died in 19 years) from the one who was not robbed.

The mummy of the pharaoh, a splinter of sarcophagi with miraculous belongings, was saved by the mummy of the pharaoh, who was buried in that beginning.

The Valley of Tsars is also located tomb of Pharaoh Merneptah , a lot of thousands of years have been looted to that, ale, it is not mensh, sarcophagi which carry on their own a lot of information about those hours. І її vivchennya prodovzhutsya dosі.

Valley of the Tsaritsa (It was called a long time ago "the valley of the children of the pharaoh")

For a long time, the squads of pharaohs and ehnykh children, as well as noblemen and sacrificers, were at the valley of the valley. Archaeologists have seen close to seventy tombs hanging near the skeletons near the cichus.

More beautiful for those who have been saved tomb of the mysterious queen of Egypt Nefertary , the guards of Ramses the Great, the Tomb of the Bullet Vidkrit 1904 Rock, ale lishe, in 1995, they started letting in.

Preserving the inner sanctuary, polychrome fresco painting, well, the little ones in the tombs are not just a reason for the drowning of the mighty ancient majesty, but knowledge about the life of the quiet distant hours

Temple of Medinet-Abu

One of the most memorable days of Ancient Egypt at the "place of the dead", which has been preserved until our hour. Riznokolorov frescoes on the walls of the temple tell about an hour, the life of Ramses III, the great Pharaoh of Egypt.

In the direction of the forced fortech walls, the temple leads the monumental gate, as it is by itself to merit for a respectful look.

Incentives for the hours of the rule of Ramses, the temple has served as a month of life for many of the coming generations of the pharaohs.

The temple is accessible for the restoration of the church (although there are ongoing restoration works, before the trip it is necessary to clarify what is available for the restoration).

Temple of Queen Hatshepsut

A whole memorial temple was built for 9 years from another thousand years before ours, not far from the tombs of Mentuhotep. Queen Hatshepsut, Persha woman-pharaoh, called the temple Jeser Jeseru (most holy of the priests).

The temple has not been renovated yet, but a part of the architectural complex, which is open to visitors, hostile to reality.

Bulo virubano temple near the vapnyakov mountains. There is a wide road to the center of the sanctuary with ramps. Behind the entrance to the temple, they see the colonies, the doors are at the sight of the majestic posts of people. Walls of the temple are adorned with barrels, little ones that ancient Egyptian letters, which inform about the rich life of the great queen Hatshepsut.

Ears of Memnon - statues of the gods of Egypt

At the Fivan necropolis, you can paw those who have lost sight of the monumental aleia, which led to the memorial temple of Amenhotep III (not taken). These are two giant statues that depict the pharaoh, like the image of the Ear of Memnon. Їkhnya visota - 20 meters.

In the other half of Luxor - "the living places" - there are no less than the tombs of the pharaohs, Karnak and Luxor temples, if they were united in one architectural complex of the Aleu Sphinx.

Karnak temple

The largest temple complex in Luxor. On this great territory there is a lot of old-fashioned sporud. Ale golovna yogo pam'yatka - the temple of Amon, which occupies the central part, and the famous Column Hall of Pharaoh Merezha I with immense columns (134 colonies of sixteen meters), adorned with color bas-reliefs.

Trochi viddalik from the temple - the Sacred lake, on the birch tree of the most beautiful statue at the saint of the best komakh in Egypt - the scarab beetle. Such a popularity of this beetle is linked to the mythology of Ancient Egypt and the type of life (the scarab beetle is a symbol of the birth of death).

For perekazami, bazhannya, zagadane at the tsієї statues with obovyazkovy rite, obov'yazkovo zdіysnitsya. And that is, to see the magical power of the coma in the magic world, to get the statuettes on top of them.

Collect the entrance pylon with the embellishments of the shistm with monumental statues. This year, you can deprive yourself of three magnificent statues (up to 20 meters long): Pharaoh Ramses II, Nefertary (your friend) and one of two grand obelisks.

Having settled near Luxor, one cannot but visit the ancient city of Dendera, which is located 60 kilometers from the city (230 kilometers from Hurgadi).

Head memorial tsikh mists - Temple of the goddess Hathor near Dendera

Found a temple, the dedication of the goddess of the kohan and the people of life, the guardians of the house of Hathor, especially the chanted women, with the promptings in the Greco-Roman period and one of the remaining temples in Egypt.
