Caption: | Luxor Temple Egypt head Ramasses nightime light show night darkpylon part of this important temple located on the east bank of the River Nile at Luxor, Egypt. Luxor Temple is credited to Ramses 11 as the main builder and these are his massive granite statues at the entrance to the first pylon. Facing the pylon is the long Avenue of Sphinxes attributed to Nectanebo 1 which when completed would have joined up with Karnak Temple and recent reclamation work had established much of this avenue running through the town. |
