Egypt🇪🇬The Luxor Temple worth visiting
Catch the sunset at the Luxor Temple in the evening🥰🥰💕💕💕
I like to take pictures of the majestic pillars with blue sky and white clouds from bottom to top👍
Souvenir shops in Egypt sell postcards of the spectacular sacred pillars with blue sky and clouds, which are of great commemorative value.
The most confident seated figure in the picture is Ramses II.
Egyptians often say: If you have not been to the Luxor Temple, you have not been to Egypt❗️The Luxor Temple proves the glorious past of Luxor.
Facing the tower gate of Luxor Temple, there are two rows of spectacular sphinxes. This is the direction leading to Karnak Temple. In ancient times, festivals were held every year. Starting from Karnak Temple, proceed to Luxor Temple. , which is the biggest thing in Luxor.
The faces of many pharaoh statues in the temple were scratched and damaged because Christianity was used to destroy the people's worship of the pharaoh. The wall seen in the last picture of this article has Christian portraits. This is because Christianity demolished the murals on this wall and repainted Christian murals in order to make people believe in Christianity and stop worshiping the Pharaoh. This promoted Christianity and missionary work in Egypt.
Luxor Temple is also translated as Luxor Temple. Luxor was called Thebes in ancient times (the capital of the new king of ancient Egypt), also known as Wasset. It is located on the east bank of the Nile about 500 kilometers south of Cairo. , equivalent to the south-south location of central Egypt, was built around the 14th century BC. It took about 1,900 years to build and was built by several generations of pharaohs. It was mainly dedicated to the three gods of Thebes. The Egyptian government is currently digging a three-kilometer road from the Luxor Temple in the south to the Karnak Temple in the north. It is very much looking forward to connecting the two temples all the way.
It is also dedicated to the three gods of Thebes, God Amun (believe in the sun god 🌞), his wife Mut, the war goddess, and their two children, the moon god Hongs. According to legend, during the high tide of the Nile every year, the Karnak Temple The three gods will come here by boat to accept worship and offerings from everyone.
This temple runs north-south and is relatively slender, but not as large as the Karnak Temple. The main part of the temple was built by Amanhotep III, and Alexander the Great visited it until the Greek era.
The Luxor Temple only has tall and thick walls on both sides of the gate. On the outer wall there are reliefs of Ramses II fighting the Hittites, and on the inner wall there are festive sacrificial scenes.
There are two 25-meter-high obelisks in front of the Luxor Temple. One of them was given to France in 1836 and now lives in the Place de la Concorde in Paris. At that time, France gave Egypt an alarm clock, and it was broken when it was received❗️It was really a treasure divided among the great powers😢😢
Recommendation: The best time to visit Luxor is at dusk or near sunset. The weather is cooler. The temples are lit up at night, and the scenery is moving and beautiful.
