Luxor shrine

After sightseeing of Karnac shrine, we had lunch and rested at hotel until evening. Next sightseeing point is night Luxorshrine.


<Luxor shrine>

We arrived to Luxor shrine from hotel at once. I saw many excavation sites of remains of ancient of Egypt from bus. Whole of city is excavation site, I felt.

What a fantastic view night Luxor shrine!

Two huge Ramuses 2nd statues are sitting at entrance. One obelisk is in left side, before obelisk is also in right side, but right obelisk was sent to France as present for amity.

Tar-chan said “Too bad! The then Egyptian couldn’t understand obelisk is precious.”

I thought that it is for amity, so Egyptian understood it is precious one and French would assent to this present enough, they believed.

I had look right side obelisk at Concord square in France , so I had looked both obelisk in this time.

As above, I wrote “Whole of city is excavation site”, Luxor shrine was also excavated from under ground. There is town upon Luxor shrine, so Egypt government moves that town and people to another place and excavated Luxor shrine. All house is replaced another place, but only church, people can’t take this to piece, so it remain upon Luxor shrine.

Tat-chan said “Many unknown remains are buried under ground in Egypt . If we excavate all in once, we lost important resource for tourism quickly. So we will excavate slowly. When visitor will be decrease, we will move old town and excavate remains, we will broadcast as new discovery. And then much visitor will be visit Egypt .”

How nice plan! What a great tourism country Egypt .
