The Valley of the Kings:
Most of the kings of the Eighteenth, Nineteenth, and Twenty Dynasties of
the New Kingdom (about 1550 – 1069 BC) were buried in a dry river valley on the western bank of the ancient city of Thebes (modern Luxor), and from here came its name, Valley of the Kings, but this name It is not entirely accurate since some non-royalty are buried in it, as are some non-royal, albeit high-ranking, individuals.
The Valley of the Kings is splinted into the eastern and western valleys.
The eastern part is the more famous of the two, with the western valley containing a small number of tombs, and the Valley of the Kings in total containing more than sixty tombs in addition to twenty incomplete tombs that are little more than pits.

The colossi of Memnon:
On the western side of Luxor, the statue of Memnon stands with enormous solidity, like the ruins of an ancient funerary temple, in memory of King Amenhotep III, one of the kings of the Eighteenth Dynasty, who ruled between 1417 and 1379 BC.
Amenhotep III was the first pharaoh to erect statues of enormous sizes, indicating that the pharaoh is a hero capable of performing miracles, according to the ancient Egyptian concept in the era of the New Kingdom, which was reflected in the art of royal sculpture in that era, and the king began to appear in statues at a heroic size.
The two statues embody King Amenhotep III. He is sitting on the throne with a low support, placing his hands on his legs, and above him is the royal crown.
To the right of his legs is a small statue of his wife, Queen Ti, and to his left is a small statue of his mother, “Death Umm Weya,” and on both sides of the throne there is an inscription.
Representing the god of the Nile, he connects the papyrus and lotus plants (Delta and Upper Egypt), the symbol of each of them, as a sign of the unification of the country. then we will continue your 6 days

The sanctuaries, and it was designed by Senenmut, who held many titles, including manager of the estates of Amun.
The temple consists of three levels, each of which has a row of columns at its end.
On the upper level, there is an open courtyard behind the row of columns, preceded by statues of Hatshepsut in the form of Osiris, the god of the dead.
“Jisru Bridge” is considered a funerary temple for
Queen Hatshepsut, where rituals were held for her after her death when she transformed into the state of the god Osiris.
The temple was not dedicated to her only, as the temple included parts dedicated to her father,
King Thutmose I, the goddess Hathor, as well as the god Anubis, as well as A chapel open to the sky, dedicated to the sun god Ra Hor-Akhty.
