At the same time, the Nile is also full of romance, and boating on the Nile has always been a tourist yearning. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThere is a kind of three-masted sailing ship that sails purely by the wind, fortunately it was indeed windy when Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were riding, otherwise it would be embarrassing to think about it when I heard that there would be a motorboat to pull it to sail. The two sides of the Nile are deserts, the time is close to evening, the sun is low above the desert, shining everywhere is golden, the river breeze blows in the ears, accompanied by the singing of children by the cruise ship, it is very pleasant. The sailors were the Nubians, a people who had fought a thousand years of war with Pharaoh, and even once became Pharaoh, and now part of Egypt. Nubians have a dark complexion, more like Africans. They took Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to sing "Woo Ah Bang Bang", which seemed to mean welcome, accompanied by a characteristic drum beat, which was very African tribal flavor.

After returning from the sailboat, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo return to the cruise ship, and Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo will spend three days on the cruise ship, all the way to Luxor, visiting temples along the way. The facilities on the cruise ship are not bad, you can take a hot shower, and after taking a shower, you can go to the top of the boat to see the Nile at night, compared to yesterday's embarrassment, today is really much more comfortable.

In the evening, the cruise bar has Sufi and belly dancing performances, and Sufis is a male Arab dancer in a large plaid skirt that keeps turning and turning the skirt up. It's a bit monotonous, but it's not easy to spin around like this, and it's not easy to spin for a few minutes...... Belly dance... In fact☆ is undeniable, the figure of the dancing girl is ...... A little busty...... It's really not good-looking, and the action is a bit embarrassing╮(╯_╰)╭ Later, when I asked Millard if Egyptians liked women with such appearances, he repeatedly said no, and they felt that belly dancers were a profession that betrayed themselves and was not accepted by mainstream society.

Buffet lunch and dinner are served on board, but free water is not provided...... The tour group comes with a bottle of water per meal. You'll have to prepare the rest yourself. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo brought their own electric kettles, otherwise it would have been 13 euros a bottle of mineral water to buy on the boat. Of course, the Egyptians will not let go of this business opportunity, and when you board the ship, there will be Egyptians who come around and sell you mineral water, 5 Egyptian pounds and two large bottles, which is much more authentic. However, be careful to prepare change, otherwise disputes may arise. One of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluotuan took out a handful of money. As a result, the water seller snatched it away and did not return it.

The steamer docked in Aswan for a day without moving and is still active in Aswan today.

Egypt has three of the greatest structures – the pyramids, the Karnak Temple, and the Abu Simbel Temple. Because the Abu Simbel Temple is located at the southernmost point of Egypt, even 300 kilometers from Aswan, many tours are not available. But there is no doubt that the Abu Simbel Temple is the most charismatic temple in all of Egypt and is worth visiting anyway.

The Egyptian government, for security reasons, requires all tour buses to Abu Simbel to assemble at one place around 4 a.m., with a loaded soldier on each vehicle, and then the military vehicle will open the road to go together. There are also quite a few outpost roadblocks along the way. Security appears to be tight. But what is more embarrassing is that after arriving at the destination, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo found that Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's buddy with a gun in the car threw the gun and magazine in the car and got out of the car and walked around.

It was still dark when I set off, and I saw the sunrise over the Sahara Desert on the way, but after all, it was diagonally behind the tour bus, which affected the viewing. The whole journey is three hours, and it is not allowed to get off the bus, so the toilet must be used first.

The temple parking lot and ticket office are located at the back of the temple, and the entire temple is carved out of a single hill. Considering the difficulty of the project and the level of science and technology at that time. It can't but be said to be a miracle. When Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo turned around the mountain, the entire front of the temple came into view. Suddenly, a strong feeling sprung up.

The Abu Simbel temple consisted of a large temple and a small temple, the large temple belonged to Ramses himself, and the small temple belonged to his queen Nefer Tari. The four colossi of Ramses II at the entrance of the Great Temple have solemn expressions and slight smiles, staring into the distance in the sun.

Cat) Ramses II is the person Yunluo has always admired the most~ When I was in junior high school, I read the comic "The Sky is the Red River Bank", which described the story of a Japanese girl who traveled to ancient Syria - the Xitai Kingdom. The story runs through the love story of the heroine Yuri and the prince Kairu of Nishidai. Ramses I was another man who fell in love with Yuri, and at this time he was still a general in Egypt. At that time, Yunluo was still at the age of dreaming, and the Ramses was also a matter of course. He is first and foremost a handsome guy with two different colors of eyes, and secondly, he has a personality that makes little girls fall in love. He is witty and brave, full of eagle-like ambition - you must get what you want, or you will grab it. Of course, it is a pity that he did not snatch Yuri from him, but soon after, he got the throne of the pharaoh. Although Ramses II was not his grandson, the two men were very similar. Yunluo often sees the two of them as one person. Going to Egypt to see Abu Simbel has always been Yunluo's wish, and Yunluo wants to witness the great achievements of Ramses with his own eyes.

From the statues, murals, and mummies of Ramses II, it can be seen that Ramses II is also an out-and-out handsome guy, with a strong body, charming eyes, a high nose bridge, and a height of more than 1.9 meters. He was the greatest pharaoh in all of ancient Egypt, and in his time Egypt had an unprecedented territory; He was also a keen temple builder, and he belonged to two of the three greatest surviving buildings in Egypt. In addition, he was probably the most romantic of pharaohs, and the small temple next to the Great Temple was built for his wife, Nefer Tari, and although he had hundreds of wives and children, he still had a soft spot for her. Nefertari means the most beautiful woman, and Ramses II wrote on the temple built in her honor: Every day, the sun rises for you. And the four statues at the entrance of the temple, two belong to Pharaoh and two belong to his wife, and the four statues are of the same height. Ancient Egyptian statues in which the height of the pharaoh's wife never exceeded the height of the pharaoh's knees, which also confirms the love of Ramses II for his wife. And he himself, as such a powerful, intelligent, romantic, self-confident almost perfect image, is still revered. is such a pharaoh, how can Yunluo resist his charm.

Ramses II admired force and at the same time had the romance of a poet. One of the most distinctive frescoes of the Great Temple depicts a scene of him standing on a horse-drawn chariot and bending his bow and arrows. The difference is that Ramses II holds the bow, and there is an arm half-hidden behind it. Archaeologists initially thought it was a carving error, but as the inscription was cracked, it was discovered that it was a story of Ramses II, who had difficulty in the campaign, and asked the sun god that Yunluo was your son, why did you abandon Yunluo. Then the sun god replied to him, who said that Yunluo abandoned you, don't you see that Yunluo is by your side - so the arm on the mural is the sun god who protects Ramses II.

The frescoes inside the temple are similar to the scenes where the pharaoh fought his enemies and the pharaoh offered sacrifices to various gods. It is said that the art of painting in ancient Egypt has not developed much since its birth, and it is probably true.

The Great Temple also shows the developed astronomical knowledge of ancient Egypt, and there are four stone statues enshrined in the inner sanctum, the middle two are Ramses II and the sun god Amun, and the next two are Horus and Peth, and the sun will enter the innermost temple through the entrance of the Great Temple for two days a year. Shining directly on the faces of Ramses II and the god Amun, it is said that every second counts, one day is his birthday, and the other day is the day of his accession to the throne.

The Abu Simbel Temple was also cut and relocated due to the construction of the Aswan Dam. This is worthy of being the southernmost part of Egypt, it is really hot, and the temple is not ventilated, and Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo are sweating all over their bodies after walking for a while. Why was the temple built in such a place? The answer varies, perhaps to show that his territory had expanded to this place (which was not part of Egypt in more ancient times). Maybe it's for the sake of a distinctive location, or maybe it's because he fears that he will be destroyed by the people for his deification.

The cruise was originally scheduled to depart at 1 p.m. for Kom Ombu. But for unknown reasons, it was postponed to 8 p.m. So an afternoon is a leisurely time, supplementing the travelogues, and walking around on the boat is also comfortable.

Mirard said that he could take Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to visit Aswan's cities and markets in the evening, and he was quite interested. But the people in the same group wanted to take the carriage directly to the bazaar. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo wanted to experience the city on foot by themselves, but they didn't get support, so they decided to walk around the cruise ship by themselves and leave the group for a short time. Two harvests: the sunset over the Nile and the children of Aswan.

In Egypt, the Nile, the Sahara Desert, and the sunrise and sunset over Mount Sinai. It is recognized as the most spectacular natural landscape. The Nile is even more beautiful here, with deserts, greenery, and rivers. The humidity of the air is not high, so the sun literally sets from the ground, rather than fading away from the clouds as you normally see. At sunset, the sun slowly descends from the floor and fades away, knowing that the last rays of gold disappear. At this time, the entire sky, water, and desert were all reflected in different shades of warm colors, and suddenly a poem came to mind: "The sunset and the lonely bird fly together, and the autumn water grows together in the sky."

I met some children in the nearby park, who were very lively and not afraid of people. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo beckoned them to take pictures together, they were very excited, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo left, and they kept following Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo for a long distance to say goodbye. Later, the tour guide asked Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, didn't they ask you for money? Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo said no with confidence, because Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo preferred to believe that they were just innocent curiosity. It is said that the children they come into contact with at the market will take the initiative to ask for money, and Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo are willing to believe that Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo are in contact with real Aswan children.

Back to the cruise ship in the evening, we sailed to Kom Ombo around 8 o'clock. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo found that Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo had thrown the mp4 on the tour bus, and Mirard contacted the driver and assistant of the tour bus very responsibly, and finally found that it was lost in the gap between the two seats, it seems that the quality of the Egyptian hawkers is not representative of all Egyptians.

The domestic narrative is that Egyptians are used to asking you for money, but getting up close and personal with real locals will find them welcoming. Tourism anywhere will ruin some people's hearts, but it should be believed that people themselves are warm and simple. Egyptians are very friendly to Chinese, and many people will greet you in Chinese; If there is a beautiful woman, it is more popular, roar.

The temple of Kom Ombo is not large and was a temple of the Ptolemaic period. The temple is slightly unique in that it is a symmetrical temple dedicated to two gods, perhaps the only one. The one on the left is dedicated to the eagle god, and the one on the right is dedicated to the crocodile god. There is also a legend about this temple, which is basically a story about the crocodile god who drove him away because he was jealous of the eagle god, and then invited the eagle god back when something went wrong.

In fact, this temple is not so famous, if it were not for the close proximity to the Nile, maybe the itinerary would not have been here. However, Ptolemy belonged to a later dynasty after all, so the carving technique can be seen to be more delicate, such as the ups and downs of human muscles. So if you want to talk about the wall carvings of the temple, it is better to look at it here.

In addition, there is a large, deep well-like thing here, which was actually used to measure the water level of the Nile in ancient times. It seems to be the world's first water level measuring well, but its role is not for water research, but for tax collection – judging agricultural harvests based on the water level and thus determining taxes. Relatively speaking, it is much more scientific and humane than increasing or decreasing taxes according to the mood of the national boss.

There is also the world's earliest calendar, which records what needs to be done every day, 360 days a year, and the remaining 5 days are religious worship days, which are not in the calendar. Three thousand years ago, people already knew exactly 365 days of the year, which shows that Egypt is very accomplished in the calendar and astronomy.

Leave Kom Ombo for some leisurely time on a cruise ship and arrive at Edford. The Temple of Edfu is no longer close to the riverbank and needs to be reached by horse-drawn carriage (a bit stinky...... ）。 The Temple of Edfu has the second largest tower gate in Egypt and is known as the best-preserved temple, so it is spectacular. This is mainly about the story of the revenge of the eagle god, and several murals in a row depict Herous grabbing his uncle, the evil god, turning the evil god into a hippopotamus, and then beating it with a long stick, getting smaller and smaller, until finally killed, and then divided into small pieces for the duck to eat to prevent resurrection - ruthless enough. (To be continued.) )
