.... so has already been a while since the last post so I post some pictures of Luxor.
We were 3-4 days in Luxor and what we have seen there is impressive. So in Luxor first, the ancient temples (including Temple of Luxor and Karnak Temple) and secondly, what is more impressive, in my opinion, the tombs of the Pharaohs (Valley of the Kings / Queens). These are underground and painted very nicely, the color on the walls are very strong in that is very surprising because it is the original color for this and a few thousand years old. The pharaohs were mummified first, which has quite a long time (if I remember correctly about 1 year) and then they were the gold mask and gold suit and then enjoy a short trip to the sarcophagus (often gold). The idea was, that can live through the process of mummification, the pharaohs "forever". Unfortunately
was making it not allowed in the tombs photos. A grave is of a long corridor down and at the end is the sarcophagus. The longer a ruling Pharaoh, the deeper his grave.
