Der Karnak Tempel
3 luglio 2022, Egitto ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C
Gegen 09:30 Uhr erreichten wir unser erstes Ausflugsziel, die Karnak Tempel, die größte und älteste Tempelanlage Ägyptens.

Unter Aufsicht unserer Tourguidin Marta, die uns durchgängig als schöne Familie bezeichnete, besichtigten wir den Tempel des Amun-Re. Besonders beeindruckend ist die große Säulenhalle und die größte Pylone Ägyptens mit einer Höhe von 113 m und einer Breite von ca. 15 m. Besonders beeindruckend, weil die gesamte Pylone aus nur einem Stück Granit geschlagen wurde.

Nicht weniger beeindruckend ist die Statue von Ramses II mit seiner Tochter. Eine unserer Mitreisenden wusste aufgrund ihres Medizinstudiums zu berichten, dass Ramses II an den Folgen von Karies verstorben ist. Welch klägliches Ende für einen König.

Weil wir nun schon mehr als 7 Stunden unterwegs waren, ging es erst einmal zu einem Lunch-Buffet an das Ost-Ufer des Nil.Leggi altro

Karnak Temple
17 ottobre 2022, Egitto ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C
What you see of the Temples of Karnak has been built over a millennium with the latest addition occurring around 350 bc. It encompasses an awe inspiring view of history that you can’t say enough about, so I will not even try. Hatshepsut’s obelisk is here. It weighs over 290 tons and is 27.5 meters tall.Leggi altro

Karnak Temple Complex
1 gennaio 2023, Egitto ⋅ 🌙 20 °C
After lunch, we moored up in Luxor and took the bus to visit Karnak Temple. Driving through Luxor, we were struck by how much cleaner and cosmopolitan it looked than Cairo. It would have been nice to have a little more time to explore the city itself.

As it was, we went straight to the temple. The main difference between Karnak and most of the other temples and sites in Egypt is the length of time over which it was developed and used. Construction began in the Middle Kingdom (2000 - 1700 BC) and continued into Ptolemaic times (305 - 30 BC). About thirty pharaohs contributed to the buildings, enabling it to reach a size, complexity, and diversity not seen elsewhere. Few of the individual features of Karnak are unique, but the size and number of features are overwhelming. The deities represented range from some of the earliest worshipped to those worshipped much later in the history of the Ancient Egyptian culture.

The most famous part of Karnak Temple is the Great Hypostyle Hall with its 134 massive columns arranged in 16 rows. It is an incredible sight! 122 of these columns are 10 metres tall, and the other 12 are 21 metres tall with a diameter of over 3 metres. The architraves on top of these columns are estimated to weigh a massive 70 tons. Experts believe the Ancient Egyptians moved them by building large ramps of sand and mud and then towed the stones up them.

We were at Karnak as the sun was setting - the perfect light to photograph the temple.Leggi altro

Karnak Temple
13 ottobre 2018, Egitto ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Construction at the complex began during the reign of Senusret Iin the Middle Kingdom and continued into the Ptolemaic period, although most of the extant buildings date from the New Kingdom. The area around Karnak was the ancient Egyptian Ipet-isut ("The Most Selected of Places") and the main place of worship of the eighteenth dynasty Theban Triad with the god Amun as its head.
The complex hosts 8 different temples.
One famous aspect of Karnak is the Hypostyle Hall in the Precinct of Amun-Re, a hall area of 50,000 sq ft (5,000 m2) with 134 massive columns arranged in 16 rows. 122 of these columns are 10 meters tall, and the other 12 are 21 meters tall with a diameter of over three metersLeggi altro

Egypt to Luxor/ Nile boat embarkation
18 ottobre 2021, Egitto ⋅ ☀️ 88 °F
Up at 4:15 to get ready and out of hotel for our intra-air trip to Luxor. No coffee😒

Processing the airport was easier this day ..but I have reservations about returning to this airport...like war time security. Makes the tour feel like jumping through hoops. Luxor airport a different story...quick and efficient. Easy breezy. Onto our bus and begin the journey from Luxor

Headed straight to our tour of Karnak. A marvelous guided tour of probably the most glorious ancient temple city ever built. A warm day but not to bad. Then onto a papyrus art center and I bought a real artist painted papyrus sheet, good price for the art piece...around $ 50.00.

Finally on to our Nile boat. Very classy and actually posh for a Nile boat. Had a great buffet lunch. 90 minutes chillin, then back off for the Luxor complex and then the Karnak light and sound show.

Luxor was magnificent. Brought back memories of my last trip 37 years ago, nice to see Luxor really thriving. Now onto the Karnak sound and light show. And it did not disappoint. The actors verses made it.

Back to the boat and dinner. Afterwards made self to the sun deck...wow!!! I am home. The best sun deck I ever saw. Celina and I smokin and conversing to late.Leggi altro
