Day 9 - Luxor

March 15, 2009

Now we are at Karnak in Luxor!

Erin with Ramses II (and Nefertari between his legs)

Karnak is a massive temple complex that is just enormous

There are 134 of these columns

We walked around it for 2 hours and still didn't see it all

Erin, Matt, and an obelisk

Mocking Osiris

We roamed around here on our own

Matt at Karnak

Some color still survives

This place used to be the center of everything

Statues missing various body parts

Legs of someone

This was a seriously random place

Us with various kings and gods

Taking in the largeness

No head on this one

We randomly found this room on our way out

Avenue of the sphinxes with ram heads

These stretched all the way to Luxor temple - 1.5 miles!

That's a lot of freakin sphinxes

We went in the Luxor Museum (awesome), no pictures allowed

Pool time to watch the sun set on the Nile

And there it is!

So pretty with all the mosques
