Chapter 456, Queen Hatshepsut Temple

I see.

At that moment just now, Ye Kai thought that Egypt was too poor to have money to build roads, but now it is not much better, no one has cleaned this road, and it is almost impossible to see how the road is going after it is not covered by sand.

"Don't be nervous. Jan Stein said.

Ye Kai is actually not too nervous, there are no cliffs around, and there are no railings, even if he drives out of the road, he can find the route through navigation...... It seems that there is no point in building roads?

There are no mountains here, only continuous sand dunes, and you can avoid these dunes as you go, so there is no need to follow this route all the time.

Thanks for the navigation, for sending these three Americans to their own faces, thanks!

Ye Kai breathed a long sigh of relief and listened to the three of them chatting about interesting things at work...... They all have their own jobs, but they take advantage of this time when things are relatively small and take time off to travel to Egypt

"Where else have you been?" Ye Kai asked.

"Island nation, Russia, Italy, ......"

Ye Kai didn't hear Huaxia, and asked with a smile: "Huaxia is also very good, you can go to Huaxia next time you have time to take a look, the scenery is very beautiful." ”

Sean Colt asked Ye Kai: "I heard that Huaxia is also very poor, the same as Egypt, is this true? ”

Ye Kai didn't understand who the pigs were referring to for a while, and Ye Kai didn't understand until Robert and Ye Kai.

"Haha, doesn't this mean that the development of China is very good? Although some parts of China are also very poor, they are still a minority, and most of the Chinese cities are better than Cairo. ”

Ye Kai didn't dare to say that the Chinese people must be better than Egypt, after all, the rise of China has not been many years old, and many people's thoughts are still stuck in the previous version. When the Chinese people are also accustomed to a well-off and wealthy life, their quality will definitely improve.

After all, the poor have a long conscience.

In fact, if you read more ancient books, you will find that many things are clearly written in the books, especially the truth of being a human being, the ancient Chinese people really studied it thoroughly.

In less than two hours, the yellowish BMW arrived in Luxor.

The place they were going to was different from Ye Kai's, so they took Ye Kai in the city and drove deeper into Luxor, while Ye Kai wanted to find his place to live in this new city.

I didn't deliberately look for a five-star hotel, but I still found a hotel with a relatively high security level to live in.

The hotel is on the east bank of Luxor, which was regarded as a living area in ancient times, and the west bank is the world of the gods and the dead.

The west bank of Luxor is famous for its spectacular pharaonic tombs and sacrificial temples, which preserve precious ancient Egyptian art, ancient and heavy, modern buildings are also lined here, and the combination of modern and classical is a perfect symbiosis here.

Egyptians often say that if you haven't been to Luxor, you haven't been to Egypt, so Ye Kai came.

First of all, the temple of Queen Hatshepsut.

It sits at the base of a semi-circular mountain, facing the Nile River. The mountains and it are wheat yellow, and the Nile River is not far away with a blue mist, and in Chinese terms, the feng shui here is excellent.

The design of the temple's three floors is simple and open-minded, with a modern design style, and the entrance ticket is very cheap, only 50 Egyptian pounds, which is about 25 Chinese dollars.

The queen is a peerless beauty, as can be seen in the frescoes that stand out from the temple, but in order to show her might, the frescoes try to bring her closer to the men.

Wearing a false beard, wearing men's clothes, a corset and a scepter, she looked imposing, which was the usual attire of the Egyptian female pharaohs.

The three-story building was pushed in one by one, and by the third floor had been dug into the mountain wall.

Each floor is horizontally arranged by twenty-nine square stone pillars, with a wide ramp in the middle connecting up and down, which is both clean and imposing. It looks like a modern building with a fresh idea.

However, he has been standing here for more than 3,300 years, and it is said that the person who designed the temple for the queen was deeply fond of the queen, and he poured all his love for the queen into his own design.

When Ye Kai saw the end of this, he thought, "Isn't this just licking a dog?"

This man did not lick the queen in the end, and the queen repaid him by being able to bury him in the Valley of the Kings after his death, which was a very high treatment at that time. But now the hero who has made him famous for eternity and made this temple full of tourists is not the queen, but himself.

Many of the buildings inside are dilapidated, and the Egyptians don't seem to have bothered to repair them, nor did they forbid visitors to touch the walls or some unimportant statues.

The chapel of Hathor on the left doesn't even have a ceiling, but the Egyptians still haven't found a way to shield the gods inside from the rain that doesn't come often.

The stone pillars used to have reliefs, but now they have been worn out, but with the introduction on the sign, Ye Kai can vaguely see who is depicted on the murals and reliefs.

On the pillars on the second floor, there is a relief carving depicting the birth of the queen by the gods, clearly declaring the queen to be the embodiment of the gods, in order to prove the legitimacy of her succession to the throne.

"The Egyptian attractions are really simple......"

If this temple had been restored in China a long time ago, although it looks similar to the ancient buildings, it is full of modern materials inside and out, and modern craftsmen may only retain the design.

But is the design really ancient? Not necessarily.

Standing on the three-story terrace, most of the ruins you can see, and the flat ground is littered with stones, and only a little foundation can be seen, but you can imagine the grandeur of the original temple.

The square before entering the temple just now was actually all gardens in the past, and there was a legend that there was a fountain, although this was just a legend, but Ye Kai was already convinced of the beauty here.

Walking down the temple from the middle staircase, there were many vendors selling things next to him, Ye Kai stepped forward and asked, "Are there many tourists here every day?"

"It's not as much as before, there were more white people in the past, but now it's mainly Asian, are you Chinese? You Chinese people have money, buy a little......

Who revealed the news that the Chinese people were rich......

In order to correct the vendor's idea that the Huaxia people were rich, Ye Kai bought a large turban after bargaining for half a day and floated around his head.

However, after leaving the temple, I didn't have time to go to other attractions, so I saw that it was getting late and went back to the hotel...... Now Ye Kai is smart, he doesn't eat outside, if he wants to eat, he eats Western food in the hotel, or sees if he can see a Chinese restaurant on the street,

Although the taste of Chinese restaurants opened abroad will change, the owners are generally Chinese, and the dishes they cook after knowing that they are their own people come to eat are not the kind of Western-style Chinese food that fools people, and it is relatively authentic.
