The scale of the burial objects of such an unknown little king is so huge, which makes people imagine more about the burial objects of other pharaohs.

The garden in front of the Egyptian Museum. The ventilation in the museum is poor, probably for the sake of protecting cultural relics. Nalan Shiqi felt stuffy and uncomfortable, so she came out early. Yunluo was worried about her, so after listening to the tour guide's explanation, he also came out to accompany her. On a sunny afternoon, there is a rare green lawn in Cairo, which makes people very comfortable.

At the entrance of the Egyptian Museum, once you exit the museum, you will find yourself in the dusty, crowded and noisy streets. The dry climate and the desert surrounding it make it impossible to have clean and bright rooms in Cairo. In addition, interesting things can be seen everywhere in Cairo, which are the large number of unfinished buildings that are already occupied. Since the government promised to provide free water and electricity as long as the building is built, and taxes will only be collected after the building is topped out, the houses in Cairo "will never be completed" and most of them "will never be topped out".

After leaving the Egyptian Museum, Nalanshiqi and Yunluo visited a papyrus shop. This once almost lost art, now the staff can easily show tourists the whole process of papyrus papermaking. There are many beautiful papyrus paintings in the shop, but the prices are not cheap. Yunluo and Nalanshiqi insisted that these paintings had no place to be placed at home, so they did not buy them.

At Cairo Railway Station, that night, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were going to take a train to Aswan. Who would have thought that as the capital of Cairo, its railway station only had one platform? Trains came in one after another, and people poured into the trains. Many trains left their doors open when they were leaving, and I wonder if it was for the convenience of "getting off at any time". The train may arrive early and leave early, or it may arrive late. The tour guide said that this was the same as the degree of traffic jam in Cairo. What time can you leave and what time can you arrive? It's all "God's arrangement."

The train to Aswan has a double room. Half an hour after the train started, the waiter will bring dinner. The "unpalatable train dinner" criticized by many tourists felt OK after Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi took out pickles. One hour after the train started. The waiter will unlock the bed board with a small key, and the backrest of the sofa in the carriage will lie down to become a bed, and the upper bed board will also be lowered to become another bed. Fortunately, the overall environment including the bed is very clean, and after a tiring day, I slept very sweetly.

Aswan shuttles between modern and ancient times, Aswan Dam-Philae Temple-Unfinished Obelisk-Egypt. If the dinner on the train to Aswan makes many people complain, then the breakfast on the train is enough to make people collapse - 5 breads per person, with cream, butter, jam, etc. Although the waiter will also serve coffee and black tea, it is still impossible to eat. Moreover, because some of the plastic bags of bread were not sealed properly, the bread in the bag was full of dust.

Breakfast on the train to Aswan. Before getting off the train, Nalan Shiqi asked Yunluo to take another photo of the washbasin in the carriage. This small washbasin, although the water flow is a bit small, is really practical. This is not seen in domestic trains.

The washbasin on the train to Aswan was unbearable. After taking a night flight, visiting the pyramids, the Sphinx, and the Egyptian Museum in a dusty state, and then sitting on the train for another night, I got back on the train to continue my sightseeing without even taking a shower.

The first stop today is the Aswan Dam. In fact, in ancient Egypt, pharaohs had already built dams on the Nile River. However, the ancient dams were built on muddy land on both sides, which made the dams unstable. It was not until the Aswan Dam was built that the Aswan Dam was built. The Aswan Dam not only supports the power supply of almost the entire Egypt, but also improves the climate effect of the region. It increases precipitation and also blocks the annual flooding of the Nile River. Although the construction of the Aswan Dam is still controversial like the Three Gorges Dam, such as the impact on the Nile Delta, the submergence of a large number of ancient monuments, and the forced relocation of a large number of indigenous residents... But in terms of Egypt's national conditions, the construction of the dam is still in line with the times.

When the car drove into the city of Aswan, you could see lush greenery. Compared to the dusty Cairo, Yunluo preferred this kind of coziness under the sun. The tour guide told Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo that Aswan is a region with relatively high temperatures throughout the year, with the highest temperature in summer reaching around 45 degrees.

On the Aswan Dam, colorful flowers bloomed wildly. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's sightseeing car stopped on the dam, and workers were watering the green plants on the roadside. On one side was a low-lying wetland, and on the other side, because of the large amount of water stored, people would mistakenly think that it was a wall separating a piece of ocean.

The completion of the Aswan Dam can also be considered as a testimony to the support of socialist countries to Egypt. When Egypt failed to borrow money from capitalist countries, the Soviet Union at that time extended a helping hand and helped Egypt build the Aswan Dam. The construction of the dam was also full of hardships of the Egyptians. More than 30,000 Egyptians participated in the construction process, and 451 people died. The iconic building in the distance in the photo is a testimony to the joint construction of the dam by the Soviet Union and Egypt.

After leaving the Aswan Dam, Nalanshiqi and Yunluo went to the bank of the Nile and took a boat to Philae Island. In the following days, we found that many temples in Egypt were named after modern discoverers. The same is true for the Philae Temple. This was originally the temple of the ancient Egyptian goddess Isis. This temple has a long history and is the last temple to give up the worship of goddess Isis. Historically, the goddess Isis has an extremely important position in Egyptian mythology and is also regarded as the main competitor of Christianity in Egypt. With the construction of the Aswan Dam, this temple may have been permanently submerged underwater. Later, it was reappeared in the world after being cut and moved as a whole.

On the walls of the temple, there are still vivid carvings of Isis' son Horus avenging his father. Photography is not allowed in the main hall, and the murals inside are also very vivid and exquisite.

For example, the stone columns in the temple can be seen in various ancient sites in Egypt. The columns have lotus flowers representing Upper Egypt and papyrus representing Lower Egypt. Lotus and papyrus represent all of Egypt. Even today, the pond in front of the Egyptian Museum that I visited before also planted these two plants.

The god Horus in the Temple of Philae is presented to people in the posture of a human body with an eagle head. The ancient Egyptian pharaohs claimed that they were the sons of Isis, so the image of the god Horus behind them can often be seen on their statues.

Leaving Philae Island by boat, I have to say that seeing the Temple of Isis from the water gives people more imagination.

The last stop of the day is the unfinished obelisk. This attraction is actually just a stone stele. Because the stone was found to have problems when it was halfway carved, it was abandoned. Because of this, future generations can understand the process of carving, transportation and erection of the stone stele.

At the end of the day, we checked into the Nile cruise ship. The rooms were at the level of a three-star hotel in China. The ceilings on the ship were relatively low, and the buffet on the ship was pretty good.

Abu Simbel Temples in Egypt - Kom Ombo Temple

The Abu Simbel Temple was a self-funded project on this trip, but Nalan Shiqi gave up on it because he was too lazy to visit the temple all the time and didn't want to get up early. Yunluo, however, was curious about the legendary Egyptian pharaoh Ramses II, so he spent $120 and got up at 3 a.m.

Gathering in the cruise ship lobby, I felt sleepy and could hardly open my eyes. But the most interesting thing here was the foreigners on the ship, who came out one by one hugging big pillows, which was really a "beautiful and unique" scene.

It takes three hours to get to the Abu Simbel Temple, and there are police escorts along the way. Yun Luo was secretly wondering how much of the $120 he would give to the police, and he was getting sleepy again. He leaned against the bed of the bus, covered with his own air-conditioning blanket, and fell into a deep sleep.

The location of the sunrise in the desert was on the way to the Abu Simbel Temple. At 5 o'clock in the morning, Yunluo was awakened by the sudden voices in the car. Looking out, it turned out to be the sunrise in the desert. He quickly took out his camera to take a picture. At this time, he was not far from the Abu Simbel Temple. . The entrance of the Abu Simbel Temple. It is not allowed to take pictures inside the Abu Simbel Temple. It can be said that Yunluo thinks that the trip is worthwhile. This temple built on the mountain is majestic. The statue of Ramses II stands here, showing his immortal achievements and undefeated myths, and also showing his union with his wife of the Nubian nation, which means the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt and peace with neighboring countries.

Among the four stone statues in front of the Abu Simbel Temple, the head of one is on the ground. I don't know if it was caused when the temple was moved after the Aswan Dam was built.

The small temple next to it is the one of Ramses II's Nubian wife. Since the time to visit the Abu Simbel Temple is relatively concentrated, it is not easy to take a photo without other people. Nalan Shiqi is not around, so I just took a photo of my own shadow as a souvenir.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

After returning from the Abu Simbel Temple, the cruise ship started again and headed for the next stop, the Kombo Temple. On the deck of the cruise ship, you can enjoy afternoon tea leisurely, or swim in the swimming pool on the deck, although the swimming pool is not big.

When the sun was setting, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo finally arrived at the Kombo Temple. This severely weathered temple had two gates and enshrined two gods. One was Horus, the eagle-headed god known as the good god by the Egyptians, and the other was Sobik, the crocodile god known as the bad god that the Egyptians revered.

Although the temple is severely weathered, the text on its walls is still clearly visible and the reliefs are still lifelike. With the lights installed in the temple, the reliefs that are thousands of years old still look exquisite.

The Temple of Edfu is a large temple between Aswan and Luxor. It is the temple of Horus, the son of Isis and Osiris.

In ancient Egyptian mythology, Isis and Osiris's brother Set framed Osiris and killed him twice, but Horus avenged his father and eventually succeeded in destroying Set. (To be continued...)
