The sun will rise from the east side of the Nile, the Egyptian returned to produce something great. Is placed next to the daily life on the eastern side, in the way of Ra suns daily rebirth. The 12 hours of life, would contemplate life dancing around the temples and pleasure of the gods of the Whole.
1. Luxor Temple:
The city of Luxor has become the name as such, as it grew around the temple. There probably has always been the life around ancient monuments, their roles were very crucial in ancient Egypt, by this resolution to make the people around them through the story. Luxor temple has its own structure and opposition strange architectural construction. On the one hand we see the statues of Ramses II sitting at the grand entrance in the first two doors / pylons. On the other hand we find exceptional fine carvings of Hatshepsut. If you enter the inner courtyards, the wall, just before the holy of holiness, then you will see a Roman Christian image. It is painted and very visual, even to this day.
2. Temples of Karnak:
There is a temple, but many temples. An enigmatic place to be, so much history everywhere, and so different kingdoms (periods).
The temples dedicated to many gods and goddesses, but especially the god Amun / Amon. He became a great god, between the center and the new Kingdom. The name of Amon / Amun means "hidden." No matter how the approach to the history of these churches can not see, probably in a day, is a place that will leave you overwhelmed.
Temple of Karnak is actually connected with the temple of Luxor, once established there a long passage of the Sphinx, including connecting. These temples were often used in important festivals in the old days, one of such is as we know it "End of the Year." Your calendar next to the queen of the star is Sirius, and when he came down the Nile was start the New Year.
3. Local streets of Luxor:
Most walked the streets of the city of Luxor is known as the tourist street. People from the cruise ship mostly settle for walking on the street long and beautiful, which is a shame. Beyond the Nile, is parallel to the tourist street is the local area. There are many benefits of visiting this area of Luxor, but above all must be for the people. They are friendly, and no one hunting for business, you will be able to walk in peace and really enjoy another culture and everyday life. The shops here are more exciting to the eye than anything found on the tourist street Niles.
WEST NILE SIDE - A death through walking.
It was the 12 hours of darkness per night. Sun Ra's journey in the night, in his confrontation with death daily, and each night many gods and goddess would join their fight to keep real death at bay.
4. Valley of the Queens:
Largely underestimated and neglected by the people, the Valley of the Kings has always overshadowed the valley of Queens, another embarrassment in the history. What I find most revealing from the tomb of Queens, are the paintings and decorations on the walls. Even in ancient days, the female was underestimated, this is Hatshepsut, clear evidence. Women have always been holding the short stick in the group, no matter what the culture does not matter what time of history. There seems to be a completely different story written in the tombs of queens, and seems much shorter than the story of King. There seems to be less emphasis on the journey of the soul itself, were the tombs of the kings have more details of the curtain things / issues. But it could of course also mean the opposite of what has been said here, do not underestimate women, quite the contrary. It could also mean that the old man is considered divine and women in some way, thinking that his soul will automatically and knew the way, and therefore do not need a "guide" found in the tombs of men.
5. Valley of the Kings:
A whole new history to ancient Egypt to visit, but everybody should also show respect, because it is an old graveyard that is visited, a place of silence given eternal life. Their tombs are magnificent, even today, that provide much of the old beliefs and how their ideas were formed. The painted walls were presented as, for over a thousand years. Light colors fascinating, truly one of the hundreds pleasures for the eyes.
