Ma’bad Luxor temple became a center near Al-Aqshar, Arabic from Luxor. This place is a historical legacy of Ramsis II. If the Karnak temple in a sacred place of the king, Luxor temple became a place of worship for people, a group that occupies a lower level of Fara’inah.
Once satisfied to enjoy the splendor and beauty of the Karnak temple, I and a group from Russia, Georgia, Afghanistan, Syria, Malaysia, Indonesia and moving Cechnya Luxor temple, Luxor temple which is not too far from the hotel where we stayed Morris, only about 500 meters.
Luxor Temple is located between downtown Luxor. Order of Luxor city streets have seen almost the same way as the Balinese tourist town. Road is not too wide with a green park on the left shoulder of the road right in exotic scenery. Especially when you are outside the city, is the green fields irrigated by the river Nile flows clear to pamper eye view.
Luxor Temple entrance immediately greeted with two large statues of Ramsis II, gate structure is similar to Karnak temple, the difference lies in the statue of Ramsis II, which is about 10 meters. If Karnak temple Ramsis statue was returned to the side, in the face before ma’bad Luxor.
Before entering the gate, the narcissist first ria with a picture, in this country is a photographer who always offered in congregation and pictures very cheap cost, only 15 pounds. We ma’bad files along with the background and soaring towers located near the statue of Ramsis II.
Once past the entrance, I immediately saw the pillars of high-level whose roof was missing.These poles are a total of 48, I’m not sure if the importance of number 48, because as far as I know, every inch of historic buildings in Egypt including the small print on the wall tercoret always contain heroglyph meanings and interpretations of scientific and deep.
There are interesting things to our attention as she began exploring a more detailed form of Luxor temple walls are filled with writing heroglyph. Many of the legacy of this temple in Luxor that was peeling, and it turns out this is not due to natural effects. There is no reason for writing and drawing go to pot.
It started when Egyptian power began to weaken in the eyes of the world at that time, the Romans used this opportunity to attack Egypt. Roman Ruins Egyptian attack. As goes a superpower that invaded another country, local culture will be destroyed and replaced by a new crop of invaders, one of the victims was the destruction of the Luxor temple.
The Luxor temple which has many statues beheaded by Roman soldiers, even in the sanctuary, drawings and writings heroglyph scraped and covered with pictures of the ancient Greek model of Christian symbols that are attached, in the most sacred sanctuary was no image messianic, currently is seen to fade and begin to look at a painting of the ancient Egyptian gods. In this country there are also two-foot former horse shows violation by the Romans in Luxor holy.
This incident reminded me of the story of Solomon is a king who ruled the world at that time, not only the human world, but also the world of jinn. When Ababil bird in an area he has a people who worship the sun and their leader was a woman. Solomon sent a letter to the Queen that the community leaders who were called bilqis Queen.
Queen bilqis request for an advisory opinion at the request of the kingdom of Solomon, who urged him to submit to his authority. Advisers to provide data for queen to make war only to death, but policies that prevent queen.
“Every king who invaded a country would have destroyed the country and killed their men and enslaving women and children,” she said bilqis Queen. By the end of Solomon still can make Queen bilqis power in his country and the unity of the region makes the woman. If at that time agreed Queen bilqis war may be a situation of their country will be different from Egypt that was destroyed by the Romans.
Luxor temple was already closed once buried in the ground in the glory days of Islam. When Islam was introduced to Egypt brought by one of the companions of the Prophet called Amr bin Ash, Luxor became an Islamic territory.
By the end of the reign of Abbasid empire centered in Baghdad Iraq, just a place above Luxor Temple, built a magnificent mosque, then they do not know if under the earth where they build a mosque is a sacred heritage of Pharaoh, this country became known only a few years ago.
There is a confidential answer to my question so far, why are all the historical relics are able to hold up to thousands of years. Life of Pharaoh in 3000 BC, Amenhotep lived during the Prophet Joseph, Ramsis II, has lived at the time of Moses, but the legacy of their buildings still stand strong so far, the answer is because the construction materials they use are granite.
Egypt became one of the countries with the largest granite manufacturer, so far as so many large buildings, including mosques, which uses pure granite, this is why the building is very strong in Egypt. Of course, in addition, also because as a test of strength and majesty of God Almighty that many stories enshrined in the Qur’an, there is a lot of stories of prophets in Egypt?
Since we enjoy the beauty of Luxor temple by 13:30 hours, hot weather always makes us go back to the hotel, it was time for lunch.

While we have evening events in Morris hotel disco along with hotel guests. So, wait for the next record simple trip to the market and this Egyptian-style disco. Welcome to wait.
