Ancient egyptian temple of Karnak in Luxor.

Karnak temple

The ancient temple of Karnak in Luxor, Egypt

I´ve uploaded 426 new pictures from the Karnak Temple in Luxor, Egypt. Those fantastic Egyptian remains are full of  ancient tombs, small sphinxes, wonderful statues, osiris and much more. When I was visiting the Karnak temple, I RAN for about 2 hours in this enourmus place, while my wife sat at a typical egyptian café right outside the temple, reading a book. I think she even managed to read the entire book before I was back.

But still I missed about 1/5 of the entire temple area. Unfortenately, I realised this as I came home to Sweden again, checking Google Maps… But what can you do? How patient you think you are, sooner or later you just don´t care if some guy with blue jalabia says “PSSST!”, pointing behind a big monument and tries to get you in there, so that he can point at a stone, not like a very interesting stone, but a really ordinary one. And they you´ll have to pay him. Sure.

At one of those magical moments, I pointed behind the guy´s back. He turned around and had a look and when he turned back to me, I just smiled and silently put out my empty hand. It didn´t work.

So next time I go to Egypt and visit the great temples, I´ll run faster, then I hopefully get to take even more photos of the statues of Ramses, Amon, Horus and the other cool, ancient guys.

How ever, you can watch the Karnak photos at remains.se here.
