Colossal Statue of Ramses II in Memphis, Cairo

The first thing we did once the arrival in Cairo was,
having our delicious Egytians' BBQ chickens lunch,
Marinated with their herbs and spices,
then cooked with fresh peppers and onions.





Caviar Restaurant, a beautiful restaurant.


After that,
We then drove to Memphis,
One of the oldest cities on Earth.
Legendary Memphis was the capital of te ancient Egypt throughout the old kindom.
There we could we the colossal Statue of Ramses II, The temple for Embalming the Scared Bull, Apis and the Alabaster Sphinx.
As you scroll down, you would notice that,
The Statue of Ramses II is so so huge!
And I really love the statue... WOW~~~


* 2 Shots above are taken by Lomo Horizon Camera.
And here is the Colossal Statue of Ramses II.








Here the tour guide was explaining the broken statue beside him, "As you can see the statue beside me, he is very fat. It means he was a very very rich king last time."


* Shots by LCA+ camera.
My mom was so much more excited than me when she saw the statue.

Every single details that was carved has their meanings or represents.
The crown, the cobra on the crown, the straight forward false beard...
The encient signs of something protective in their beleives.
The sword, the belt, the name as well. Everything...
* Shots taken by Digital Camera.
It is huge isn't it?
Next, the Alabaster Sphinx is one interesting statue as well, which was placed in Memphis as well.
It was old enough since it is B.C.
The Alabaster sphinx of Amenophis II.
Largest of the extant sphinxes carved from a SINGLE block and it once flanked the entrance of the Temple of Ptah.
4.5m high and 8m long.

It was funny that time because Ayman guided us the story too quickly and if you attempt to listen to the story, you would miss your chance to shoot pictures.
As a result, I didn't know what this statue's name neither its story. Just the pictures, Haha!
Ayman told us that he promised the next location he was bringing us to would be many times more interesting than Memphis.

I was curious if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your website?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe
you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.

Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1
or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
