Collossi of Memnon

The Colossi of Memnon (known to locals as el-Colossat, or es-Salamat) are two massive stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. The original function of the Colossi was to stand guard at the entrance to Amenhotep's memorial temple (or mortuary temple): a massive cult centre built during the pharaoh's lifetime, where he was worshipped as a god-on-earth both before and after his departure from this world. In its day, this temple complex was the largest and most opulent in Egypt

Valley of Kings

is a valley in Egypt where, for a period of nearly 500 years from the 16th to 11th century BC, tombs were constructed for the Pharaohs and powerful nobles of the New Kingdom This area has been a focus of archaeological and egyptological exploration since the end of the eighteenth century, and its tombs and burials continue to stimulate research and interest. In modern times the valley has become famous for the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun (with its rumours of the Curse of the Pharaohs[7]), and is one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world. In 1979, it became a World Heritage Site, along with the rest of the Theban Necropolis.Exploration, excavation and conservation continues in the valley, and a new tourist centre has recently been opened.

Temple of Hatjepsoet

was the fifth pharaoh of the eighteenth dynasty of Ancient Egypt. She is generally regarded by Egyptologists as one of the most successful pharaohs, reigning longer than any other woman of an indigenous Egyptian dynasty Following the tradition of many pharaohs, the masterpiece of Hatshepsut's building projects was her mortuary temple. She built hers in a complex at Deir el-Bahri. It was designed and implemented by Senemut at a site on the West Bank of the Nile River near the entrance to what now is called the Valley of the Kings because of all the pharaohs who later chose to associate their complexes with the grandeur of hers. Her buildings were the first grand ones planned for that location. The focal point was the Djeser-Djeseru or "the Sublime of Sublimes", a colonnaded structure of perfect harmony nearly one thousand years before the Parthenon was built.

Medinet Habu

Medinet Haboe temple was built by Ramses III (around 1150 BC). If you enter the temple it look like a fortress. And on the gateway you will see many images of prisoners from many countries. Once inside you can see the temple but there are also other temples that have been included in the complex; Horemheb (about 1310 BC) and Hatsjepsoet and Toetmosis III (about 1450 BC.) made temples here. these temples are older then the big Temple. It is also a sanctuary for the women of God Amon from the 21st dynasty (1000 BC).

The temple itself is very well preserved. There are beautiful reliefs and stories in the first courtyard and you can see the window of appearances in which the soldiers received their gold from the king after a campaign. On the 2nd court, there are several parties shown. The columns behind hall is still beautiful in color and there are many gods depicted. Sadly on the 2nd Court, the Orisis statues are destroyed, this has been done by the Christians who made a church.
