在卢克索,阿蒙霍特普三世法老雕像,俗称“门农巨像”。20米的身高让人无法忽视他们的存在,只是时光的刀刃在王的面前也是毫无畏惧勇往直前的。当起风时毁容的法老本因脸上的裂缝而发出呜咽声,而雕像眼窝中汇集的晨露也随之溢满盈盈。
在一个山谷里,山是红色的,里面散布着很多法老的陵墓,还有那个神秘的诅咒也是在这里,陵墓里不允许拍照,但是规模都不是很大,墓室的墙壁上都是壁画,但因为时间及风化的缘故,颜色都淡化了。
We visited three and paid extra to see the small one of King Tut'Amazing and interesting wall and ceiling decorations. King Tut looked a little worse for wear but does give you an idea of mummification. How they managed to get all his treasures into such a small place (seen at the museum in Cairo) is beyond comprehension. The tomb was originally made for his priest hence the small size.They were no expecting him to die so early.
我无法形容参观帝王谷的整个过程有多么的糟糕。票价很贵,那些人非常的粗鲁,而且得不停地驱赶那些贩卖黄牛票的人。最后,我们不得不埋怨的、几乎被强迫的放弃了市场的正价票,购买了黄牛手上的高价票。别去那儿。
2009年的3月7日我去参观了帝王谷,作为埃及阿斯顿运河之旅的一部分。这个地区到处都是荒芜的小山丘,而且非常的热。要给大家的建议就是,一定要带够充足的水,保持身体的水分。 当你到达游客中心时,有两条到达陵墓的路线供你选择。你可以步行到那里,也可以选择买票乘坐有轨电车到那里(这种电车是由电力作为动能的,就是你通常在机场见到的那种托运行李的车)。你买的电车票可以参观3个陵墓。埃及官方会安排轮流的开放这些陵墓,从而减少随着参观的旅客而来的湿气对陵墓的影响。如果你去参观图坦卡蒙陵墓的话,需要额外支付100埃及磅(差不多137元)的参观费用。游客每进入一个陵墓的时候,保安人员就会在陵墓的入口处对旅客的门票上留下标记。 这些陵墓在精心的布置和进入方式上都有很不同。我参观了拉美西斯一世、四世和九世的陵墓。拉西美斯四世和九世的陵墓在布置上更加的精心一些,因为他们成为法老后的在位时间比拉西美斯一世更久一些。拉西美斯一世做上法老位置时已经比较老了,而且统治的时间也少一些。在成为法老之前,他是埃及的将军。尽管如此,是他发现的拉西美斯线路,因此,他和拉西美斯二世共同被称为拉西美斯大帝。由于拉西美斯二世的陵墓攀爬起来比较陡峭,因此很难到达。陵墓的墙壁上没有任何的图画,一直要到主墓室里才有一些图画。但不管怎样,这些图画真的非常的令人印象深刻。 每个人多听闻过图坦卡蒙。当人们挖掘到这位年轻国王发现到的宝藏时都惊讶不已。图坦卡蒙陵墓是唯一一个基本上被完整发现的陵墓。有趣的是,不知道什么原因,陵墓内部被盗墓者所损坏,但是这些盗墓者并没有成功的盗取这座墓穴里的珍宝。这座陵墓曾被天主教再次关闭。就像拉美西斯一世的陵墓一样,图坦卡蒙陵墓的墙上也没有任何的图案,应该是由于他的统治时间也不长(我相信应该不到8年)。主墓室中有一些令人印象深刻的图画,还有一个装着图坦卡蒙的木乃伊的棺材。他的木乃伊也在这个陵墓里,这个木乃伊非常的脆弱、非常的小,它的尺寸让人非常肯定图坦卡蒙在成为法老时还只是一个小孩子。 总之,我认为,帝王谷里的陵墓绝对值得一看。陵墓里面的图画也令人印象深刻。陵墓背后的历史也很有吸引力。令人心急的是,帝王谷还在继续的挖掘和开发中,还未完全挖掘出来。 我记得曾听说这里发现了一个埋藏有拉西美斯二世孩子的墓穴,目前,这个陵墓穴还未对公众开放。如果你到了卢克斯特,你一定要去看看有名的帝王谷。
This place is amazing and you cant help being impressed with the craftmanship, the tombs are amazing and if you have a good guide they can bring the whole history to life.
Fantastic insight into the Tombs of the Kings of Egypt. Its a bit "pot luck" as to what tombs will be open...I have been 5 times and never seen the same tombs open....but whatever you see will be impressive. It is hard to fathom how much time and effort must have been spent over literally hundreds of years.Luxor (Thebes),the West Bank are all very quiet since the recent Revolutions and we took advantage of early starts at 6.00am to do our sightseeing and be the ONLY people in the Valley for the first half an hour or so of our visit.....it was truly an amazing time.There is nothing to fear about visiting Luxor and if anything it could be the best time to go.
Truly an ancient and impressive site! Amazing how they carved these magnificent tombs out of the rock. Be sure to either do your homework about the tombs before coming or bring a guide with you.A bit disappointed that only a few tombs are open. The rest either under renovation or cost an additional fee.No cameras allowed. I understand not allowing pictures in the tombs in order preserve the decoration and colors but not sure why you can't take pictures of the exterior. Might have something to do with wanting to sell packets of pictures.
Take a hat and plenty to drink, it gets hot and dry and wear comfy shoes. It is worth it. The mini land train does a lot of the hard work for you. Usually only 3 tombs are open at a time and you can pay extra to visit Tutankhamen tomb, but there is nothing much to see. The rest are incredible. Be aware that you will be expected to tip if you borrow a torch or are invited to see an enclosed area or if someone takes you photo for you. Also keep any change for the toilets.
我和同伴一起在2010年2月初的一个艳阳高照的正午翻越了从哈其苏女王庙到帝王谷的山峰,在杳无人烟的崎岖不平山路上独行,随身携带的水不够,旁边就是悬崖,体验的是自我挑战与征服后愉悦!
