Valley of the Kings

The divine gates of the kings at the core of a mythical hill underground is an immortal cemetery that has been preserved for centuries. It contains 63 royal tombs, each narrating its own story about the great Pharaohs during Egypt’s New Kingdom (1570 – 1050 BC), such as Ramses II, Hatshepsut, Seti I, and Tutankhamun. These tombs serve as a reminder to us all of their golden legacy and history which will live on forever in this sacred place.

Hatshepsut Temple

The Temple of Queen Hatshepsut is a remarkable feat of engineering and architecture. Built-in the face of rock mountain hills Deir El Bahari, it took 15 years to complete and was dedicated to honoring the creator sun god Amun in 1479 BC. It stands as one of the most well-preserved ancient monuments on earth, immortalizing Hatshepsut’s golden legacy for centuries after her death. The temple features intricate carvings that depict stories from Egyptian mythology and its grand columns are an impressive sight even today. Its magnificence has made it a popular tourist destination for those looking to learn more about Egypt’s rich history.

Colossi of Memnon

The Blessed Colossi of Memnon of Pharaoh Amenhotep III is an awe-inspiring sight to behold. The two grand statues, constructed in 1350 BC, stand tall and proud as a testament to the legacy left behind by this great ruler. Adorned with magical decorations on their sides showcasing the golden heritage of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, these colossal statues have stood for centuries as one of the most enduring monuments on Earth.
