Luxor Temple

The name of this temple (Luxor) it appeared during the Arab area. When they reached this city, they saw and found a lot of buildings, and in that time they weren’t able to read and understanding the ancient Egyptian language. The thing, which made them thoughts about it as palaces. The word palace in Arabic is QASR, and thee plural of it is Qosoor and the plural of the plural Aqsor which became later on Luxor,
The majority of this temple date back to the king Amenhotep the 3rd, but the front part date back to the king Ramses the 2nd, Ramses the 2nd added the pylon, the open court yard, and he decorated the front of the temple by two obelisks, one of them stand in the place squire in Paris, it is there since the king Mohamed Ali bash gave it to the French nearly 1834 as a gift to the French people who helped him to build modern Egypt

At the front of the temple beside the two oblesiks, there are two seated statue for the king Ramses the 2nd the sculptures did their best to appear the king in his strong form, the details in this statues reflect how profession the sculptures were, I like the feet of the kings the toes the ankle bones, plus the most beautiful woman, I never saw one in her beauty and her body the queen (Nefertari) the sculpture succeed in this statue to tell us how beautiful the queen was
Also they decorated the sides of the statue with the famous symbol (SAMATAWI) or the unification between the two lands:-
In this scene we see the god Hapi wind the two flowers lotus and papyrus the symbol of upper and lower Egypt, and in the scene we see the wind pipe represent (the river Nile ) and the lung represent the source of the water . by his feet pressing the lung to refresh the life of Egypt = (C P R ) this action show us how profession they were in medicine too.

The open court yard:-
The court belong to the king Ramses 2nd except (the three shrines behind the right tower or the pylon (everyone say it is belong to the queen (Hatshepsut) and the mosque (for sure not belong to him). but the rest belong to the king Ramses 2nd the 2 seated statues + the headless and standing statues all belong to the king Ramses 2nd. In the western wall the artists recorded the festival e of the visit of the god Amon Ra to Luxor temple we see from the extreme north the people carrying the offerings and in front of all of them we see the sons of the king Ramses the 2nd we can realize that from what is written above them (sa nsw sa nsw) = the son of the king also we can recognize them from the royal side lock.

The Mosque of Abu Haggag:-
Abu Haggag was a Sufi sheikh, born in Baghdad, but he spent the latter half of his 90 years in Luxor. He died here in 1243, but it is believed that the minaret is older than he was, dating back to the 11th century. The mosque itself has been rebuilt many times and completely in the 19th century. Abu Haggag is Luxor's main saint, and his mosque is the core of local religious activities. Locals believe that his mosque is a particularly important reigious spot, full of Baraka, divine blessing
When the mosque was built, large parts of the temple were covered with earth. The mosque still open and the Muslim pray five times in the day, and in his birthday his followers comes from all over Egypt to participate this day in a hug ceremony
