There are several statues of kings, all sitting, with their bodies made of huge stones. Their faces are broken and even a little sunken, which makes them look a bit funny. They are quietly placed on the lawn and are free to visit.

Thebes is a large ancient Egyptian city on the banks of the Nile. It has a history of more than 4,000 years. Some places are still very well preserved. There is also a large cemetery in the ruins of the ancient city. Of course, these cemeteries have been excavated, but you can enter and visit them. They still feel very mysterious.

The Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, also translated as the Temple of Hatshepsut, yes, it is the famous Queen Hatshepsut❗️ This place is very close to the Valley of the Kings, and it only takes a few minutes by car. The Queen's Temple, built on the Thebes Mountains, has a completely different temperament from the Valley of the Kings: it is almost the simplest architectural line, but it is invincible and majestic. It's a pity that due to political, religious and other reasons, the entire ground part of the first floor of the temple was rebuilt later. Although the buildings and reliefs above the second floor have been basically preserved, they are still damaged to varying degrees. It is also another ancient temple about love, but this time the protagonist is no longer the pharaoh and his wife, but the female pharaoh and her childhood sweetheart designer lover♥️

It's often said that you haven't truly been to Egypt if you haven't been to Luxor; similarly, you haven't truly been to Luxor if you haven't visited the Temple of Habu. Medinet Habu was an important temple complex located on the southern tip of the western bank of the Thebes during the late New Kingdom period of ancient Egypt. Its main structure was the mortuary temple of Pharaoh Ramses III of the Twentieth Dynasty, representing the last major construction project of his reign. It is relatively well-preserved, with intact statues and exquisite murals. During the Coptic era, this complex developed into a sizable city, serving as the religious and economic center of Thebes for a long time. The buildings incorporated temples, palaces, and other functions. The exterior reliefs depict scenes of Ramses III's campaigns. The city was later destroyed by a plague in the 9th century.

Tutankhamun was a young Egyptian pharaoh more than 3,300 years ago. He once ruled a huge empire on a golden throne. Tutankhamun is one of the most famous pharaohs in ancient Egypt. His luxurious tomb and golden mask have become an important symbol of ancient Egyptian civilization. The main cultural relics are in the Egyptian Museum, and the tomb murals are exquisite.
