Not sure many people walk right to the back of Karnak, which is a shame as there is a lot to see here. It is worth spending the time to get right back here.

Never want to come to Egypt again! It disgusts me so much. I walk anywhere in Egypt, even in the toilets of the airport. Everywhere there are locals who ask for money. They don’t speak English, but all of them can speak money😳. Today I went to the scenic spot. , Many children gathered around me on the road and talked about money, money, money, and even the staff in the scenic area took the initiative to ask me for money. Oh my God!

Karnak Archaeological ComplexWe are back . August 2021Precious. We were there 16 years ago and they have improved a lot. Much more restored. Modern entrance. With much security as in all Egypt. It is recommended to see it calmly at least 1h 30m of visit. The history of the cameras and the texts is very interesting. It is essential to bring a hat and water.

We specially flew to Hurghada to have a rest in order to get on an excursion to this temple. Made an impression. The road is tiresome. We left at 4.30 am. returned at 21.00 but worth it. Recommend! Have tons of fun and cool photos.

II. During his extremely long reign of 66 years, Ramses had major construction projects. Ramesses built the second large pylon to the great temple of Ammon and completed the huge colonnade behind it, which III. Amenhotep started it and Ramses father, Sethi I., continued.

From childhood I dreamed of getting here. To feel the scale and fully enjoy the spectacle, all megalithic structures must be contemplated directly, whether it be the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Sagrada de Famila, the Temple of Ramses II, especially, like everything in Egypt! The excursion regulations spoiled the impression a little, there is little personal time for independent exploration of a place with a history of thousands of years, half an hour is dust, you will not have time to pass this energy through yourself and get high.

Temple of Ancient Egyptian Sovereign Ramzez II, who ruled for over 60 years. If I remember well, he died more than 90 years old. It is one of the most important rulers of ancient Egypt, who has spread the borders of the Empire. In addition to the temple here at Karnak, he had temples elsewhere throughout Egypt.Tourists could not look at this temple in October 2018, there were some work there.

Temple of Karnak, Luxor. A very respectable archaeological excavation.Ramesses II is considered one of the greatest Pharaohs in the history of ancient Egypt. He ruled for more than 60 years, recorded as the most powerful, most celebrated man in history. His heirs, as well as the later Egyptians who called Ramesses II the great grandfather, saw him as the father of the nation. More than 3,000 years after this Pharaoh died, his mummy was the first and only case to be issued by the modern government - Egypts passport to travel to France.Who is Ramesses II?Ramesses II was a 3rd Pharaoh during Egypts 19th dynasty. According to historical records, he was born around 1302 BC, reigned for a total of 66 years. This makes Ramesses II one of the oldest rulers in the history of ancient Egypt.The statue depicts Ramesses II in front of the temple of LuxorDuring his reign, this Pharaoh made many great achievements. These included his successful campaigning against Egypts enemies, including signing treaties with the Hittites in Anatolia and the Nubians in southern Egypt. This is considered the earliest treaty in history, still preserved to this day. In addition, Ramesses II also built many notable historical monuments.Move the mummyLike many other Pharaohs, Ramesses IIs mummy was buried in the Valley of the Kings, on the western bank of the Nile, opposite Thebes. The mummy is located in the grave with the symbol KV7. After that, the Egyptian monks moved to the Deir el-Bahri cellar. In 1881, this Pharaohs mummy was discovered.Egypts first and only Pharaohs mummy to be issued a passportRamesses II mummy was placed at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo in 1885. In 1974, Egyptian scientists noticed that the mummy was showing signs of decomposition. They decided to take the mummy to France for examination. However, according to modern Egyptian law, even those who want to leave the country must have full valid documents. These papers are to ensure that the kings body will return to the country safely, instead of being kept in France.Later, Ramesses IIs mummy was officially issued a passport by the Egyptian government, becoming the first and only case to receive this privilege. This happened even after this Egyptian king passed away thousands of years ago. On that special passport there is a photo of Pharaohs face. In the job title section, there is the caption King (Deceased). In 1976, the mummy left his homeland for France. His body was warmly greeted with solemn rituals for a King at Paris-Le Bourget airport.Then, the mummy was transferred to the Paris Museum of Ethnology, where experts conducted tests. Here, the team discovered the cause of the mummy was damaged by a fungal infection. Successful treatment prevents the body from decomposing.The mummy was traveling to France for examination and treatmentAlso during the examination, the team said that the Pharaoh was about 1.7 meters tall with red hair and white skin. They also concluded that this King had arthritis. This left him in the cuffs for his final years. After the analysis was completed, Ramesses IIs mummy was returned to his home town by plane.Currently, visitors can admire this mummy when coming to Cairo Museum, Egypt.Hoang HaAccording to Ancient / WK

The cemetery and the ark. Tomb of Tuthmosis the Third or the scientific symbol KV34 is a tomb engraved in the rock of one of the pharaohs of Egypt, Tuthmosis the third and it is one of the first tombs of the ancient kings of Egypt in the Valley of the Kings in the western region of the Nile facing Taiba (Luxor today). Thutmose III belonged to the 18th Dynasty during the reign of the modern Egyptian kingdom (1470 - 1070 BC). The cemetery is characterized by the beauty of its design, accuracy and design. Its entrance is like a long, sloping undercurrent followed by a vertical hole - perhaps to block thieves - then sloping corridors and ladders leading to a high chamber and ladders to a large basement, the sarcophagus. The rooms are engraved with drawings expressing the religious perception of the ancient Egyptians, and texts written in the hieroglyphs of the Book of the Dead. Discover them editThe cemetery KV34 discovered workers working under the supervision of Victor Lorett, who was then director of the Department of Antiquities. It was on February 12, 1898. After several days of discovery, the site of the tomb of Tuthmosis the Third, the son of Amenhotep the Second, and the tomb of his father, Amenhotep II, were discovered. [1]Site editedEntrance to the cemetery of the Valley of the Kings. The entrance of Tuthmosis the Third is located above a rocky valley in a rocky area. It is in the southern valley of the Valley of the Kings. Rain and water have worked over the years to clear the rocks of those mountains. You can also see the corridors of the ancient workers movement between the Valley of the Kings and their area of ​​residence in the monastery of Medina.

The cemetery consists of an entrance in a long, sloping vestibule that leads to several consecutive chambers. Immediately after the vestibule there is a large dry well hole separating the vestibule from the rest of the rooms. The direction of the next two blocks, the first of which is a large chamber, with a sloping corridor and a downward spiral leading to a large room, is also the room of the coffin. [2] Two small rooms to the right and two small stones to the left are used to save the contents of the tomb from furniture, utensils and other belongings, as well as food and beverages. The coffin room is large in an oval shape. A decree on its walls depicts scenes from the ancient Egyptians depicting the passage of the dead after death to the other world, in addition to texts written in hieroglyphics from the Book of the Dead in different colors. The ceiling of the room is colored in blue and the stars are decorated with a reflection of the sky. Like her
