A Dream Trip in LUXOR! - Traveling Back in the Time

I was quite prepared to get away from the frenzy and head somewhere slightly more chilled out. After mulling over my options, I decided that Luxor would be an excellent choice.

Ancient sites in Egypt contain evidence that our commonly believed version of history may be incorrect and point us towards human history going back much further and being much more advanced than was one believed.

The Karnak temple complex at Luxor developed over more than 1,000 years, principally between the Twelfth and Twentieth Dynasties. It was, at its peak, the largest and most important religious complex in ancient Egypt. The most significant structure, and the largest religious building ever built, is the Temple of Amun-Ra, considered to be where that god lived on earth with his wife, Mut, and son, Khonsu, who also have temples at the site. The Temple of Amun-Ra is particularly famous for the vast Hypostyle Hall constructed during the reign of Seti I.🤔

Trying Egyptian Food in Cairo - it's our second day here in Cairo, Egypt and we thought we would head on out to try some of the local Egyptian and Middle Eastern Food. 😋
