Ted's Excellent Pictures Taken In Luxor (Thebes), Egypt
June 1989
Luxor Temple
The obelisk missing on the right was "given" to the French in the 19th century, and resides in Place de la Concorde, Paris
(Click here for a picture I took of it in 1987)
The Avenue of Sphinxes at Luxor Temple
Statue of Rameses II at Luxor Temple
The Temples of Karnak
The Avenue of Sphinxes used to link it with the Luxor Temple
(3 km of them are still under the city)
The Valley of the Kings, on the opposite side of the Nile from Luxor (Thebes)
Pictured above is the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut
(Sadly, the Luxor Massacre of 58 tourists + 4 Egyptians would happen here 17 November 1997)
The Colossi of Memnon
Entrance to King Tutankhamun's tomb - no pictures allowed inside when I was there(*)
The innermost coffin and mummy are still there - the rest is in the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, Cairo
(*)Then I found this on the internet
