Luxor Temple is a massive ancient Egyptian temple compound situated at the eastern side of the Nile River in a city known as Luxor in Egypt. It was built in 1400 BC and is known as “ipet resyt” or “the southern sanctuary”. Within the compound you can find a couple of stunning temples on both the eastern and western banks. The most famous temples that tourists tend to visit include the Temple of Seti I, the Temple of Rameses II, the Temple of Rameses III and the Temple of Hatshepsut. These are particularly grand and feature many intricate statues and hieroglyphs all over the walls, a testament to ancient Egyptian civillisation. These smaller temples are simply small components of the larger compound however. Once you take things into perspective, you will be able to realise that the Luxor Temple is an absolute display of grandeur. Furthermore, unlike its counterparts, it is not dedicated to any particular deity in the Egyptian pantheon. Instead, it is more focused on the rejuvenation of kingship, hence the temples being named after various pharaohs. It is also said to be the location where the pharaohs were given the mantle of leadership. Thus, this temple is in fact incredibly rich with history, especially when you consider the fact that so many pharaohs have stepped foot here before. While there are chapels at the back of the temple compound, the most important part would have to be the main temple, where pharaohs were crowned.
