juki235:“The Temple of Hathor is also known as the Temple of Dendera. It is dedicated to the goddess Hathor. I personally feel that this is also the most tiring temple to visit in the entire Luxor area. Because there are many huge stone pillars in the temple, supporting the beams. There are very exquisite murals on these stone pillars and beams. They are all legends of ancient Egyptian mythology, which are very exciting, but it is still very tiring to look up all the time. After studying the whole temple, my head and neck are very sore.”

小思文:“The Temple of Esna is a very important historical building. This temple has a very glorious history. There are many items in the temple. You can see quite a lot of good artworks here. The history of this temple is also very long and can be traced back to a very early time. [Scenery] The scenery is beautiful”
