We have been seeing many ancient Egyptian temples and learning about the Pharaohs and their need to show their might and power in their temples. Also depicted in the temples are their relationship with their gods. Their are twin temples in Luxor joined by a two mile street lined with sphinxes.
Luxor Temple
The outside of Luxor Temple has six imposing statues of Ramses II. It originally had two obelisks in front, but one of the kings gave one to France.
Karnak Temple
Karnak Temple is a large complex that spans the reigns of several pharaohs. The statues and drawings depict pharaohs smiting enemies and pharoahs making offerings to the gods. Also depicted are scenes from Egyptian mythology.
