Beyond the natural laws of time and space, the Valley of the Kings is a remarkable monument situated within the heart of a mountain. It contains over 60 tombs, including 20 royal tombs of the Ramesses Dynasty, Amenhotep I, Hatshepsut, Tutankhamun, and others. These tombs are adorned with captivating artifacts, treasures, and intricate artworks on the walls and corridors, all dating back to the New Kingdom period (1570-1070 BC).
The New Kingdom represented the pinnacle of ancient Egyptian architecture, exemplified by the magnificent temple of Queen Hatshepsut (1479-1458 BC). Commissioned in 1479 BC to honor the sun god and creator deity Amun, this temple stands as a lasting symbol of enduring power, beauty, and grandeur.
The Colossi of Memnon journey approximately 700 km from Cairo to Luxor, standing as guardians of this magnificent city. Each of these colossal statues is 18 meters tall, weighs around 720 tons, and depicts Pharaoh Amenhotep III (1386-1350 BC).
