Luxor: Valley of the Kings, Temple of Queen Hatshepsut and Temple at Karnak.

There are those who believe aliens must have helped the Egyptians. The queen's temple was full of these guys.

And still very colorful.

The queen's temple is built into the rock.

The Valley of the Kings is desolate and extremely hot (over 125 f). If the kings weren't already long dead and mummified, they soon would be in the Valley of the Kings .

Just outside of Luxor.

The colossi of Memnon.

This was a monastery, near the queen's temple.

The obelisk at Karnak - the biggest single stone monument in the world.

Day 20 - and we still look great!

We're leaving Luxor:

See the desert start West of the Nile? If you want to find where hell starts, start looking there, just outside the valley of the Kings.
