This myth, known in ancient Egypt, was similarly carved on the walls of the temple in the form of murals and reliefs.

Early that morning, Nalan Seqi and Yunluo's cruise ship docked. Nalan Seqi and Yunluo got on ashore and took a carriage to Edfu Temple. The carriage ran through the dusty alleys and streets. After getting off the bus, some people who had already taken the tour guide to pay the fare would shamelessly again ask for the fare. Alas... they all regarded foreigners as suckers. If they wanted to cheat money, they should learn how to guide the tour guide's clever way (please see the detailed explanation later). Nalan Seqi and Yunluo's car did not encounter such a thing. Friends from other cars encountered it, and they shook their heads, and then pretended not to understand what was going on.

From afar, Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo saw the Edfu Temple in the distance. Although they don’t understand why it is in its current shape, they can see the huge carvings on the exterior wall of the temple from afar.

Better closer, you can see the broken walls and ruins that have been preserved to this day. You can see how magnificent the building complex was before the yellow sand buried this temple.

On the exterior wall of the temple, huge carvings depict the scene of Egyptian pharaoh offering sacrifices to the god of Horus, demonstrating the legitimate pharaoh's rule over the upper and lower Egypt.

The carvings of the two eagles outside the temple indicate that this is the temple of the Horus. Although the stone sculptures of the two eagles have long been damaged, one has no hat and the other has no mouth. In the temple, all of them are carvings of the Horus.

The mural tells the story of Horus. It must be said that today was a very leisurely day. After visiting the Temple of Edfu in the morning, the rest of the day was to enjoy the warm sunshine on the Nile. At around 1 pm that day, the cruise ship began to pass the sluice.

Although Yunluo thought it was ridiculous for the travel agency to write the sluice to the itinerary that day, Yunluo still walked on the deck like other tourists and watched the whole process. Yunluo thought. This might be because today is relatively idle... Nalan Shiqi really enjoyed such leisure time.

The power and authority of the past clouds and mists, the lost ancient Egyptian gods. The Valley of the Kings - Queen Hassuel Temple - the Crying Monon statue - the Temple of Karnak - the Temple of Luxor If the pyramid represents the supreme authority of the pharaoh, it also shows that the pyramid is the most obvious treasure with its goal.

When they encountered the division of the upper and lower Egypt, the ancient Romans, the ancient Greeks, the Arabs... Until modern colonists, every time they conquered the city, they thought that Pharaoh had to accept foreigners who disrespected his authority and disobeyed his faith to harass his tomb, trample on his mummies, and take away his treasures that would carry forever.

So, when war brought about derivatives of war, the pharaohs finally realized that their tombs must be made more secret to ensure their resurrection and eternal life. The Valley of the Emperor was very jealous because no grass was growing around them. Back then, who could have imagined that under the yellow sand all over the sky, countless treasures of the pharaoh were asleep.

When you first entered the entrance to the Kings Valley, you will see a well-made three-dimensional model of the Kings Valley. Because Yun Luo was lazy at the time, he did not take out his camera to take a picture. However, given that there are both Arabic, English and Japanese explanations in the small exhibition hall, the small exhibition hall must have Japanese support.

As can be seen from the pictures on the wall, although the Valley of Emperors was mysterious before discovery, it was also very exquisite, and the murals inside were carefully carved. The tour guide said that the longer the tomb passage built by the Pharaoh in the Valley of Emperors, it proved that the longer the Pharaoh was in power, because only in this way could he have more time to dig it. Yun Luo thought. At that time, the slaves who built the Pharaoh's tomb would also hope that the Pharaoh would live longer, because they had to take away the secrets of the Pharaoh's tomb with him.

It is precisely because the specific location of each pharaoh's tomb is that no future generations know that the existing pharaoh's tomb passage had to be turned, because they dug into the passage of the previous pharaoh when they were digging...

Now, the treasures and mummies in the tombs of the Pharaohs in the Valley of the Emperors are no longer there, some have been stolen by Western "archaeologists", and the rest have been transferred to the Egyptian Museum.

Not all the tombs of the pharaohs in the Valley of the Kings are open, only a random part of them is open every day. Those who want to visit the tomb of a certain pharaoh (such as the famous Ramses II) may be disappointed.

The project in the Valley of the Kings is an own expense. In fact, the tickets are not expensive. If you remember correctly, it will not exceed 100 GBP. However, the fee charged by the Egyptian tour guide (not a domestic tour guide) is US$60. The direction to the Valley of the Kings does not conflict with other itineraries on that day. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo can only say that people who know three languages ​​and are capable of serving (Egypt guide) are more likely to make money...

The first stop of the itinerary on that day has now become the second stop - the Queen Hassel Temple. This is the only queen in ancient Egyptian history. Like Wu Zetian, her husband and brother died, and her son became a pharaoh. She felt that she was not satisfied. So she made a so-called conspiracy to be ordered by heaven and successfully seized the throne. When her son grew up, she was like Wu Zetian and Cixi who had held power for too long. Although her son made great achievements several times, her promise to inherit the throne was reluctant to fulfill.

In the end, the queen suddenly died and her son successfully inherited the throne. The cause of her death is still a mystery, but everyone can see how much her son hates and even hates her. The temple she built for herself was destroyed by her son's own hands, and most of her achievements, except for the trade agreement with neighboring countries, have been lost in the dust of history.

When we arrived at the Queen Hassel Temple, the sun had risen, and the temperature rose sharply in the desert where grass was not growing. What was speechless is that there were Egyptians who taught tourists to pose with their arms crossed in front of their chests to take photos. Yun Luo and Nalan Shiqi were speechless. Isn’t this a move that only the mummy (that is, the dead) did...

After leaving the Queen Hassel Temple, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo began to go to Luxor. The 10-minute scenic spot on the way was the crying Monnon stone statue.

Behind these two stone statues, originally a magnificent temple, but it was demolished because of the lack of stone when the Pharaoh built his own temple. Later, it finally disappeared with the vicissitudes of history. The statue of Mononon also disappeared due to long-term severe weathering.

The reason why it is called the crying Mononon stone statue is said to be due to severe weathering. When the wind blows at night, the sound of the wind passing through the cracks of the rocks is like someone crying. Therefore, Europeans who come here call it the crying Mononon.

But it must be admitted that in the era when Luxor was the capital of Egypt, the God of Amon had an extremely noble status in the hearts of the ancient Egyptians. This is why several generations of pharaohs were willing to continuously expand the temple of Amon, creating the still magnificent Karnak temple group, attracting tourists from all over the world.

In front of the Karnak Temple, the image of Amon God with a spear-headed head on both sides. Looking in here, you can't see it at first sight. This is what Amon God showed in front of his son. Alas, poor child, I don't even know what his father looks like, even if the world doesn't know...

The obelisk records the immortal achievements of the pharaoh who built the temple, but unfortunately there are not many still standing today. The pillars of the temple are enough to shock people's vision. Of course, you can also see the marks of the "visit here" of the 18th century Europeans.

Looking up from bottom to top, you can still see the fine carvings on the temple beams, which have been passed for thousands of years, but are still full of colors. Genital worship is spread all over the world, and the same is true in ancient Egypt. Even if the man had one-legged legs, the picture above proves.

The Karnak Temple must be a good place to take photos, but unfortunately the time is short. It is stacked with layers of stacks of ancient Egyptians' belief in Amon God. Now it has long been forgotten by the world. Yun Luo stood on the high mound behind the temple and looked forward. The quiet ruins cannot erase the pious beliefs of the ancient Egyptians.

The Karnak Temple worships the God of Amon, and the Luxor Temple worships the local guardian goddess, and the wife of Amon. In a patriarchal society, male power is reflected in all aspects, and the same is true for God.

Mut's temple is not as big as Amon's temple. However, its stone sculptures are still exquisite. This temple, which was once obscured by yellow sand, has now been able to see the light of day again, but it can no longer continue the incense.

Next to the temple is the city. When visiting the Luxor Temple, it coincided with the Islamic festival. Many Egyptian children also came here to play. When they found that Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were willing to take photos with them, they would rush to take photos with Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo one after another.

Another little boy pointed at Yunluo and Nalan Shuqi with a little shyness and asked Yunluo in green English, "Can you take a photo with your friends?" Yunluo answered him readily, "Of course, she will be very happy!" Nalan Shuqi would be unhappy if she knew that the children regarded her as a peer like Yunluo? The cheerful faces were filled with simple smiles, and the surroundings of a lot of happiness also made Nalan Shuqi simply happy.

After lunch at a local Chinese restaurant in Luxor that day, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo drove to the Red Sea! How long did it take to go? It still depends on Allah's arrangement.

There was a small episode on the road. Nalan Seqi and Yunluo came to a car. When turning a corner, it swayed down the road. Passing vehicles stopped one after another, including Nalan Seqi and Yunluo's cars. In less than five minutes, many people gathered, and almost all passing vehicles stopped. Everyone helped the owner of the car push the car. Yunluo thought silently, would there be so many people stop to help in China?... The day before

When I arrived at the hotel at night, it was already dark. The Red Sea coast was full of resort hotels. According to the search of the girls in the same group, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo lived in relatively cheap hotels nearby. This place was full of Russians coming for vacation, most of whom were young. So, after seeing Egyptians with black curly hair and brown skin for several days, a large number of blonde and blue-eyed and long-legged Russians suddenly appeared around.

Many hotels here are also run by Russians. From the perspective of Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi, the living habits of Russians are still very special. As soon as you enter the hotel, you will find that the elevators are very narrow, and Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi will be full with one box... The room is very large, so big that it makes people feel like sleeping in the living room. There are very few decorations, and they are basically very rough. In addition, the urinals in the men's public toilets here are very high, and Yunluo's height is just enough...

Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo had already paid for the self-funded project here in the car when they came to the hotel, which was to charter a boat to snorkeling in the sea. There was a family of four and a young couple in Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo group that did not choose the self-funded project. The next day, Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo found that their choice was right...

The self-paid items arranged by the travel agency are very expensive. Although it is a charter boat, it is not very necessary. As long as you know a few words in English, you can find the projects here to sign up for a tour in the hotel lobby. Snorkelling and taking a glass boat are about 35 US dollars, which is much cheaper than the 60 US dollars chartered by Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo. In addition, the young couple made an appointment with a taxi in the hotel that afternoon to visit the city for an afternoon, and the charter cost for a full 4-hour car (including the driver) was only 20 US dollars... This is something I only knew later. However, although I missed it, Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi had a lot of fun, so let's just do it... Just think that you have accumulated experience for more travel in the future.

The Red Sea is not red, but very blue, with a blue and blue feeling, very clear. Thinking about the beaches in Sanya, it is not as good as Yunluo's amazement on the beach back then, but it is indeed more than 90% of the beaches in coastal cities in China.

Although the group members who were traveling with him told Yunluo that the coral reefs in the Red Sea were not as good as those in the Maldives, Yunluo could not help but be excited about the clear ocean, even if Yunluo couldn't swim.

When going to sea, you must take all kinds of sun protection measures, sunscreen, sun hats, and sunglasses are all necessary. The sun at sea is vicious, which is true.

Anyway, there is a coach who can snorkeleton even if she can't swim. Yunluo's courage is much more important than Yunluo's Nalan Shuqi. Nalan Shuqi, who can swim, is actually scared. Alas... it seems that she is not skilled enough. During snorkeling, you can see the corals on the seabed. Yunluo feels sparse, not as colorful as you expect, and there are not many fish.

The advantage of chartering a boat is that it is responsible for lunch on the boat. I have to say that although the ingredients are ordinary, they look really good.

After lunch, Nalan Seqi and Yunluo came ashore for a while, and the beach was crowded with Russians. Of course, there were also Egyptians who came on vacation. The women here would cover them tightly even if they went into the water. I really don’t understand if their clothes were wet, they would just go ashore like this...
