This
temple wasn’t on
the trip we bought to Luxor. But we drove by,
in the bus, and the bus driver was nice to park beside it for a
minute, so we could take some pictures. Our guide told us, that this
temple was used as a temple to the queens. It looks a lot like
Karnak temple which was used by the kings, just
a lot smaller.
Outside
the temple there is a lonely obelisk, which is 25 meters tall. The
other is in Paris and was a
gift from
Muhammed Ali Pasha, in 1829. The obelisk got planted on place de la
Concorde in 1833.
The main part of this temple was build by the two kings Amenophis
3rd and Ramses 2nd. Other
kings such as Tutankahmon
& Alexander the Great
has added more.
