Valley of the Kings:
Valley of the Kings is one of Egypt’s most famous tourist destinations. Valley of the Kings is located in the city of Luxor, about 20 kilometers from the main temple complex at
Karnak and across the Nile River from Thebes (Luxor). It was added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 1979.
The valley contains tombs from the New Kingdom (1550 BC-1069 BC) and Eighteenth Dynasty (1190-1065 BC) periods. The tombs are made of mud brick and covered with hieroglyphs that tell us who these kings were, what they did and how they died. Some even have their own mortuary temples attached to them, which are decorated with murals of gods, queens and other royalty.
Queen Hatshepsut Temple:
The
Queen Hatshepsut Temple is a temple dedicated to the ancient Egyptian queen and first female pharaoh of Egypt, Hatshepsut. The temple is located in
Luxor City, Egypt. The site is just south of the Karnak Temple complex and east of the Luxor Museum.
The construction of this temple began in 1468 BC, and it took about 20 years to complete it.
The main purpose of this temple was to worship the two gods Amun-Re and Khnum, who were considered as the primary deities in Ancient Egypt at that time.
Colossi of Memnon:
The
Colossi of Memnon are located in the Western Valley of the Kings, near the Temple of Hatshepsut. They are believed to have been erected in about 1350 BC, during the reign of Amenhotep III. However, they may have originally served as part of a larger temple complex dedicated to the sun god Ra.
