Map of Egypt, showing key places for tourists

Locate Luxor in red rectangle.

Hatsepsut’s temple

If completed, this might look like a pyramid, build to a height, never seen before.

Abu SimbelTemple cum monument, dedicated to victory of Ramses II in the battle against Sudan. It is known fact that once in a year, sunrays go inside the temple to illuminate Ptah’s statue, in the middle of other two figures of Ra, and Thoth.

Inside a Corridor at Hatsepsut’s Temple

The foreign rulers, probably did not like anything about prevailing religion, and ancient native rulers, hence they might have destroyed the heads on the statues.

Ancient Monument in Suburban area

See the Obelix, and the gate of the temple, still proudly standing, since more than 3000 years ago.

Gigantic pillars at Luxor, Rammesseum

They are the surviving evidences of ancient human intelligence, even when they had no technology as today.

Huge Statues of Ramses II at Luxor, Rammesseum

Can you imagine the height of achievements 3000 years ago?

Statues of Memnon

Another example of ancient Egyptian’s glorious achievement.

Alabaster shop at Luxor

See how they preserved ancient art, even today.

Alabaster Sphinx

They live to see, when others are no more!!

Row of Ram statues.

They dedicated animals for Gods. They preserved their flora, fauna. It certainly was the Cradle of Civilization.

A farmland at Luxor

They started cultivating crops, not for food, but for clothing.

Back to Giza for a moment.

These huge structures are a marvel for the human sight for 4,600 years now. There was not matching technology back then, or was there? Far superior than today.

Colossus of Ramses II at Luxor, Rammesseum

Not only the king had achieve heights, but their subjects too, to give us such glorious monuments.

Luxor, daytime Rammesseum

See the height? What would it be like, if you imagine being close to them?

Luxor Temple

Temple, crumbles to this level, showing the actual plan.

Copying the Luxor temple

What would it be like living beside the original structure?

Inside Ramses II tomb

Many lost Sciences were recovered here.

Inside the tomb of Ramses II

Wealth of Art and Culture, wouldn’t have lived that well, if they did not have chosen caves for the monument.
