Egypt has always attracted people who love mythology like me. The rich and mysterious mythology is one of the places that should be visited in ancient Egypt.
I think the best way to learn is to see it carefully, to see the historical masterpieces, rather than the pictures, books. Egyptian mythology and history of the main addresses for climbing, long walks and a pretty accurate address for the sunset in the continuation of the article will understand. If you have an overseas trip plan, think about it.
So what's in this live history museum? If you go to Egypt make sure you won't regret it. It will fascinate you with so many sights and unique historical artifacts. Without further ado, let's start with the most visited places, namely the Pyramids of Giza.
Pyramids of Giza
The pyramids of Keops, Kefren and Mikerinos in the Giza region are among the first places that come to mind when it comes to Egypt. The largest pyramid is Keops and the smallest pyramid is the Pyramid of Mikerinos.
The pyramid of Cheops: The first name of this historical monument, which is the horizon of Keops, was 146,58 meters and it is 138,8 meters. Each stone of this huge building with a mass of 5,000,000 tons is 2,5 tons. The pyramid, which never lost its place in the seven wonders of the world, was made for Pharaoh Khufu. The building, which has been preserved for the last 3800 years after its expiration date, has been the highest humanity for 4000 years.
A total of 3 rooms were found in the building. The rock on the pyramid was carved and the bottom room was obtained. Then the other two rooms, the names of which are king and queen rooms, are at the top of the pyramid. This unique work is a part of the region that consists of two temples and the tombs. The building consists of 2.3 million limestone. Both this number and the fact that the granite stone in the king room was brought from 500 miles away attracts the attention of the researchers.
The pyramid of Kefren: The pyramid, also called Kafre, is smaller than the Pyramid of Cheops, but it seems larger due to its height. In the pyramid where two rooms were found, the bottom room was made for the king, and the upper room for the queen. It is pleasing that the top protective coating remains intact today. The pyramid, which attracts attention due to the fact that the top stone was 36 tons and how it was placed there, was built for Pharaoh Kefren and it was built by Kefren's son Mikerinos.
The pyramid of Mikerinos: One of the features that distinguishes this pyramid from the other Pyramids of Giza is that the burial chamber is in the lower section. Pharaoh Mikerinos began the construction of the pyramid, finished his son Pharaoh Shepseskaf.
Temple of Karnak
Karnak temple is the most visited place after the pyramids of Giza. The most important temple in the region is the 8000 votive stones, 450 sculptures and 10 sphinxes. The temple was built with the method of scraping instead of embossing. Since the beginning of each pharaoh made additions from the beginning to the end of the temple, its construction lasted 2000 years and it was seen as the never-ending temple.
Temple of Edfu
The temple dedicated to the hawk-headed god Horus, which is common in Egyptian mythology, is the best preserved temple after the temple of Karnak. The interesting artifact on the west coast of the Nile was BC. The construction began in 237 BC. It ended in 57. The temple is 79 meters high and 36 meters wide and the temple is made of sandstone.
Filai
The artwork, called Pilak, is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The alluvial covered granite island is the temple that is famous for its ability to cope with the flood of the Nile and to always be high. Ceziretül birba (temple island) is the name of the name. I suggest you visit.
Luxor
The village of Luxor is a small village but it is a famous village in Egypt. The reason for this is the famous Luxor Temple. Artwork in the capital of Egypt for the 12th dynasty. Amenhotep started the construction and Ramses completed it.
Valley of the Kings
64 The valley of the Pharaoh, the nobles of high position, the monumental tombs of their wives and children, is the most famous and most valuable valley of Egypt. In the 18th century. Thotmase was first buried in the valley, 6. Ramses was the last one to be buried. Definitions BC The aim of the artwork that was built between 1539 and 1075 was to make hidden monumental tombs in order to protect the monuments which are very valuable from the spiritual and material point of view. Thotmase means born from Thoth. The Warrior Pharaoh was the 3rd Pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty. 6. Ramses is the last king of the 20th century and has a share in leaving many historical works to our day.
Great Sphinx
If you are interested in Egyptian mythology, you have absolutely knowledge about apocalypse and death. According to the Egyptian Mythology, the human being is weighed in order to be judged, and if it is full of evil, he is put in front of the lion-headed creature and he is subjected to painful torture. There are also those associated with lions in their gods. In short, the effect of desert lion reflected to mythology. The Sphinx is a concrete and valuable reflection of this. It is believed that the lion, who has a close relationship with death, has been protecting the pyramids, rather, the pharaohs. Located just across the Kefren Pyramid, reach the sunset with a walk, if possible, a unique view, watching the pyramids of Giza behind the sphinxes.
Other places to visit in Egypt; Egyptian Museum of Cairo, 120,000 historical artifacts you can see all at once. I recommend you to visit this museum, which is an archaeological museum built with Neolithic architecture. Alexandria Library, Giza Necropolis, Abu Simbel, Saqqara, Stepped Pyramid, Ras Mohammed National Park, Montaza Palace, Saint Katerina Monastery, Aswan Island and finally Giant Memnon Statues are some of the places you should see. I would like to remind you of the desert climate. The hotter the day, the more cold the night.
