The most amazing temple in the world, more stunning than the pyramids, time has lost its meaning

Walking into the Egyptian temple It's like traveling through a time tunnel The breath of history is within reach The era full of magic and power is within reach Here, time loses its meaning Only endless mystery and beauty remain Figure 1-7: Temple of Philae On Agilkialsland, you need to take a ferry to get there. From a distance, it looks like a mirage floating on the Nile River. The azure blue water surrounds the temple, and every part is as beautiful as a fairy tale. The temple was originally on Philae Island, but due to the Aswan Dam, it was cut into 45,000 large stones and assembled on the current island. Isis, the goddess of love, wisdom and fertility, was worshipped here. She searched all over Egypt just to find the body of her husband Osiris which was separated from his head. The moving stories are presented in the murals and hieroglyphs, connecting with the soul Figure 8-11 Abu Simbel Temple The wise and capable Pharaoh Ramses II carved the temple to publicize his achievements and love for his wife. Ancient craftsmen were able to use the calendar to calculate so that the sun god's beam of light would shine into the temple on the pharaoh's birthday and coronation day. The temple was moved in later generations, and scientists can no longer accurately present the miracle of light of the sun god. In the mural, Nefertari, the queen of Ramses II, caresses her husband who has returned victoriously, with deep affection. After the queen died, Ramses II wrote an epitaph: "The sun shines for her, my love for her is unique, no one can match her, because she is the most beautiful of all. She has stolen my heart when I passed by her." The beauty of love transcends time and space. Figure 12-13: Karnak Temple It is part of Thebes (now Luxor), the capital of Egypt during the Middle Kingdom and the New Kingdom, and the center of worship of the sun god Amun. The Ram Avenue at the entrance connects all the way to the Luxor Temple. The extraordinary buildings such as the pylon, sanctuary, hall, and obelisk all demonstrate the achievements of the pharaoh. The grandeur and magnificence of the 134 pillars in the Hypostyle Hall and the awe-inspiring feeling that shakes the soul are difficult to describe in words. I didn’t take many photos, not because it wasn’t beautiful, on the contrary, it was too beautiful, and I just wanted to remember the awe of the ruins in light and dark, and just wanted to appreciate the patterns and hieroglyphs. There are fierce wars, pastoral life, pharaohs and gods supporting each other, and tender love... This is a magnificent historical picture scroll Figure 14-16: Medinet Habu Temple of Ramses III It is relatively small, but the relief murals are extremely exquisite. The pharaoh defeated Libya, marched westward to Syria, made great military achievements, dealt with prisoners, and sacrificed to the god Amun. However, the building collapsed. This was the last golden age of ancient Egypt. Figure 18: Hatshepsut Temple (Hatshepsut) is another kind of shocking view when viewed from a hot air balloon. Time stops, history reappears, and we are still deeply awed
