4. Day in Luxor - Luxor Museum
, sound and light show at Karnak

to 8.30 I have now rested. After a good breakfast I then went to the Luxor Museum. It takes about 30 minutes from the hotel.

The museum is a relatively new construction. In here you can see many unique well-preserved sculptures, panels, a Hator head of Tut's grave, many objects from ancient Egypt. I have some (eg weapons) never seen before in exhibitions.

There are many finds from the Karnak and the Luxor temple and the west side. There are also 2 Pharaonic mummies.

is certainly the best known in the Arman-style wall of the Akhenaten-time, whose parts were found in 9.Pylon of Karnak.

Equally spectacular are the sculptures exhibited here in the basement that have been found only in 1989 at the Luxor Temple in a "Cachette" (= hide).
I was in the museum for 2 hours.

Toller, interesting morning!

of 14 to 16 clock I was in the Isis hotel by the pool.

went to a nice cup of coffee is up 18 Clock Sound and Light Show at the Karnak Temple .

This temple (which I've known of 2 visits) is dedicated to Amun, was in 2000 years time and again rebuilt and extended. This is where many pharaohs immortalized. Of these, adored by the gods, from everyday life in the temple of Opet festival, etc. told them well dramatized Schow, again and again in the individual buildings, statues, etc., were brightly lit, where gods and pharaohs had their say.
was shown the place where hundreds of statues were buried, which throughout history has been shown to the end of the worship of Amun .. Much of what I knew, much that was new to me.

A great event!

talked on the way back I was with the guide. It became clear to us that my planned trip to Aswan for the following day was not organized. But "typically Egyptian" the problem was solved within minutes.
