The ceiling of the temple. If you click on the picture,
you can zoom in on the hieroglyphics.
Amazing color for 3300 years old.
The window system of the temple. These temples
had ceilings, so the architects designed a two-tiered
roofline in order to create windows.
More fabulous hieroglyphics!
Just to give you some perspective, that's a doorway
at the end of this temple.
The oldest portions of the temple, located at the
farthest distance, are 3300 years old and pharaohs
built on and out, one more grand than the other.
Imagine, all of this was buried under
incredible volumes of sand, varying from 10 feet
deep to 30 and 60 feet deep.
Doorway at the Queen's Temple
Polish egyptologists built this "building"
to work out of.
The temple built in honor of a King. Just to give
you some perspective, if you click on the picture,
you will just barely see S and the tour guide sitting
on the base of a column to the right of the temple.
Beautiful pillars of open papyrus trees.
Fabulous architectural designs everywhere.
More papyrus pillars
