Egypt's Golden Age commenced with Thebes, known today as Luxor, which lies on the eastern bank of the River Nile. Homer referred to Luxor's temples as, El-Uqsor, "The Place of Palaces". From Ramses to Tutankhamen, from Tutmosis to Hatschepsut, Egyptian rulers have bequeathed a priceless inheritance of monumental architecture. Statues from the era of Ramses the Second, temples, necropolis' -- cities of the dead -- hieroglyphics, sphinxes and obelisks, they're all here in Luxor, the birthplace of modern Egyptology.
