The Great Temple of Abu Simbel, in Nubia near Egypt’s southern border, is among the most awe-inspiring monuments of Egypt. It was cut into the living rock by King Ramesses II (the Great) of the Nineteenth Dynasty, around 1264 BC. The temple is most well known for the four imposing seated colossal statues that dominate its façade. One of these collapsed because of an ancient earthquake, and its fragments can still be seen on the ground.

Colossal standing statues of the king line the main hall, leading to the sanctuary where four deities are sat: Amun Ra, Ra Horakhty, Ptah, and a deified version of Ramesses II. The temple was built with such precision that on two days a year, the 22nd of February and 22nd of October, the sun’s rays enter the temple, cross the main hall, and illuminate the innermost statues.

Extraordinary Ceiling Reliefs Uncovered in an Ancient Egyptian Temple Depict the Zodiac, Planets, and Fantastic Beasts—See Them Here

Conservation work on a 2,200-year-old temple in Egypt has uncovered 12 reliefs representing Babylonian zodiac signs, as well as depictions of stars and constellations that the ancients used to measure time.
The images were found carved into the ceiling of the Temple of Esna in Luxor, which was completed around 250 C.E. and dedicated to the Egyptian god of fertility Khnum. They were revealed by a restoration team, made up of archaeologists from the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and the University of Tübingen in Germany, which cleared away millennia of dirt and bird droppings from the temple’s surfaces to unveil the 12 astrological motifs that are unusual for a site of worship in Egypt.
“Representations of the zodiac are very rare in Egyptian temples,” said Christian Leitz, a professor at the University of Tübingen, who explained that the Babylonian zodiac was probably introduced to Egypt during Ptolemaic rule between 305 and 30 B.C.E.

“The zodiac was used to decorate private tombs and sarcophagi and was of great importance in astrological texts, such as horoscopes found inscribed on pottery sherds,” added Daniel von Recklinghausen, a Tübingen researcher. “However, it is rare in temple decoration. Apart from Esna, there are only two completely preserved versions left, both from Dendera.”

Egypt 🇪🇬 fulfills the dream of a Canadian family before their children lose their sight. 🙌🏼👏🏼

"The last sights before losing our sight" is a story that summarizes the suffering of a Canadian family consisting of parents and 4 children. The family discovered that three of their children have a disease that will eventually lead to the loss of their eyesight. Therefore, the parents decided to take their children on trips to many countries around the world to see the most important and beautiful cities and tourist landmarks before losing their eyesight.

The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, represented by the Egyptian Tourism Promotion Board, contacted the Canadian family and invited them to visit Egypt and enjoy the ancient Egyptian civilization and monuments, in a humanitarian gesture to alleviate their suffering.

Indeed, the Canadian family arrived in Egypt, and a comprehensive tourist program was organized for them. They took souvenir photos at the most important sites of the Egyptian civilization.

The Canadian family posted photos of themselves in Egyptian tourist destinations, indicating that they visited the National Museum of Civilization, which contains a large number of the most important ancient Egyptian mummies, the Egyptian Museum, the Pyramids area, and entered the Khufu Pyramid and saw the great burial chamber. They expressed their astonishment at what they saw of the ancient Egyptian civilization that they knew nothing about except through documentaries or photos, thanking Egypt for the invitation. 📸🌍🏛️👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🤝

🔱👑🇪🇬 Long live the Queen! Cleopatra, the last Pharaoh of Egypt, was a force to be reckoned with. Born in Alexandria, Egypt, she was a member of the Ptolemaic dynasty, which was of Greek origin. 🏛️👑

Despite her Greek heritage, Cleopatra fully embraced Egyptian culture and religion during her reign as Pharaoh. She even presented herself as the embodiment of the goddess Isis, the divine mother and protector of Egypt. 🌟👸

Cleopatra ruled with an iron fist during a time of political upheaval, fighting to maintain Egypt's independence from the Roman Empire. 🛡️💪

But Cleopatra wasn't just a powerful ruler - she was also known for her incredible intelligence and beauty. Fluent in multiple languages, including Greek, Latin, and Egyptian, she was a skilled diplomat who could hold her own against the most powerful men in Rome. 🧠💄💅

Cleopatra famously had romantic relationships with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, two of the most powerful men in Rome. She had children with both of them, including a son named Caesarion. 💘👶

Despite her many accomplishments and talents, Cleopatra ultimately met a tragic end. After Mark Antony's defeat at the Battle of Actium, she committed su***de by allowing herself to be bitten by an asp. 🐍😢

But Cleopatra's legacy lives on. She remains an icon of strength, intelligence, and beauty, and her story continues to inspire people around the world. 👑🌎

Ramses III’s magnificent memorial temple of Medinat Habu, fronted by sleepy Kom Lolah village and backed by the Theban mountains, is one of the west bank's most underrated sites. This was one of the first places in Thebes closely associated with the local god Amun. At its height, Medinat Habu contained temples, storage rooms, workshops, administrative buildings, a royal palace and accommodation for priests and officials. It was the centre of the economic life of Thebes for centuries.
