THE STONES SPOKE TO US! (East Bank - Luxor, Egypt)

9/13/2010

We are travellers on a cosmic journey, stardust, swirling dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. 
This is a precious moment. 
It is a little parenthesis in eternity. 
- Paulo Coehlo | The Alcehmist

From temples, hieroglyphics, stone structures, gods and goddesses, Luxor amazed us. Luxor has often been called the worlds greatest open air museum, as indeed it is and much more. It is definitely a must-see in Egypt. We hope you enjoy Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple as much as we did through our pictures.

How gorgeous. I have always wanted to go to Egypt. My sister actually tried to book a trip there last fall and was told she should reconsider due to all to the political unrest there & that they were advising Americans not to go. So she went to Taiwan instead :)

It's incredible to see just how well these amazing structures have lasted over the test of time. They are still absolutely breathtaking and I am in complete awe of those who built it all those years ago, thank you so much for sharing your pictures!

Wow, those carvings look really great! This is a nice place to visit. How about the temperature there? I noticed it was sunny, but was it too hot to contain?

WOW beautiful photos you have there. I hope it wasn't too hot. It must be amazing to see the architecture outside of photos and museums!

I think I remember some scenes from the Movie, The Mummy here. The structures are huge and impressive.

Oh wow, if those stones could talk! Can you imagine the stories they could tell us. You are walking where so many walked before you, and touching stone that royalty may have touched. History is a wondrous thing. Thanks so much for sharing this beauty.
