Detailed Description of Luxor Temple
For a better detailed vision here is some description for the Luxor Temple complex that will help your imagination.
The most dominant elements at the entrance of the Luxor Temple in Egypt are these two huge statues of Ramesses ii to the left and to the right hand side of the gate to enter inside the temple.
The first pylon of the Temple of Luxor has scenes of Qadesh, the famous battle when Ramses II defeated the Hittites in the 13th century BC.
After entering through the pylon of the temple, the guests can see the 74 columns built in the shape of the papyrus plant with closed capitals with statues of Ramses II among them.
Two large statues of Ramses II give way for the guests to enter into the section of the remarkable columns of Amenhotep III. This section consists of 14 large columns with each being 19 meters long. The walls of this section are decorated with scenes from the Opet festival, a famous religious event when King Amun used to meet his wife, Mut, once every year in ancient Egypt.
In this section, there is a marvelous scene displayed on its walls that show the Temple of Luxor when it was first constructed with its six statues of Ramses II, all its obelisks before being donated or broken, and all the sections of the temple. There is also this wonderful scene of the sons of Ramses II who are taking the offerings to the god Amun and his wife; Mut.
This colonnade of Amenhotep III gives access to the solar court constructed by the same king. This was where the Opet Feast rituals used to take place and it consists of a wide-open courtyard.
Then visitors enjoying their vacation in Egypt would enter from a narrow opening in the Roman wall inside the shrine of Alexander the Great. Constructed in the 3rd century BC, this was the contribution of the great Greek king to the Temple of Luxor.
