2. Luxor Temple


2. Luxor Temple


Luxor Temple was built in the reign of the kings of the Eighteenth Dynasty, and the nineteenth. He was considered the center of worship for many religions since the era of the Pharaohs until the reign of the Christian and Islamic eras. He built this temple for the worship of Amun-Ra and the death of his wife and their son Khonsu, the gods, also called the title Tibi Trinity (Trinity good).

Among the most important existing buildings temple are those built by the kings Amenhotep III - of the Eighteenth Dynasty, and Ramses II - from the family ninth century and who rebuilt the cabin three that had been built before, in the reign of Queen Hatshepsut and King Thutmose III of the Eighteenth Dynasty.

The kings in the later periods change some of the inscriptions of the temple wall, for example the scenes of rejoicing, "Opt" covenant of Tutankhamun and Horemheb; as well as scenes of the sacred boat cabin in the era of Alexander the Great.

Unlike the temples designed by the architects of ancient, and that was on the east side of the Nile in the direction of the center-west - east, and west side in the direction of axis of the east - west, the Temple of Luxor was built in the direction of the center of the North - South; and perhaps to be on one line with group of Karnak Temple to the north, and with the Sphinx by or rams which connected between the temples.
