The West bank of Luxor (formerly Thebes) is where kings, queens and nobles built tombs and temples during the New Kingdom that lasted from about 1800bc - 1200BC. It represents the height of Egyptian Civilization and yet is a thousand years before foreign occupation by Persians, Romans and Greeks. Yet it's centuries after the great pyramids were built. This civilization is *old*. And we invented everything: writing, the 365-day calendar, bureaucracy, sail boats, paper, irrigation, and apparently bowling. (we are still the world leaders in bureaucracy, The tombs and temples have survived mostly because of the climate, but also because they constructed them to last forever. It's magnificent. More than once today, you will get an emotional, almost teary reaction of being in the presence of something timeless. |
