M5: Bye Egypt!!

As my memories flow through my mind, tears came to my eyes, it was the best journey ever! This is pharaoh Ramses II Temple, it was moved to a higher spot away from the Nile while they built the dam.










From day to night the ENORMOUS 
statues  guarded the entrance to the temple.








As if it were almost yesterday, I can remember sitting on the steps of the Great Pyramid at Giza, eating a giant sandwich. saying to myself bon appetite.












It's beautiful. The temple was so amazingly built, like it was carved into the mountain, with wonders inside. 




  







Reflecting this wonderful map, images pop into my mind, this journey has been like no other and will never be.                                            




                                                           
                                                                                                                                                                                                 






This is pharaoh and king Tut also known as king Tutankhamen. He is famous because his tomb was found in the most perfect condition even though it had      been robbed every so often. His tomb was in the valley of kings where many 
other tombs were.







Toward the end of my journey I got really groggy and just wanted to go home.But now I now that it was totally worth it. I even learned to read these hieroglyphs.
