Egpyt 4.0 -LuXor-

Egpyt 4.1 -Karnak-


The temple's Columns were massive, wonder how the ancients erect it with out Crane? Viagra or Tongkat ali?


I couldn’t believe it when I saw people making child pronography and kicking the columns publicly in Karnak! If this was the way egyptian protect their ancestor properties. No wonder no europe countires are willing to return egyptian artifacts to egypt.

This top of the pylon fell down due to earthquake long-long time ago. Moreham did say something about the tip of the obelisk were wrapped of 80% Gold + 20% Silver Materials to make it shine like the Sun but not a single hair of gold left.
This is The Obelisk of Hatshepsut, the second tallest obelisk after the Lateran obelisk in Rome. It is 29.6m high and weighs approximately 320 tons. Hatshepsut was the woman pharaoh and after her death, her successor tried to erase her from history but he daren’t to touch this Obelisk for Obelisks are considered structure of God. Thus he built a high wall around her obelisk. This wall hid the lower two-thirds but left the upper towering above, that’s why there are remaining block works around this obelisk.
Sculptures and statues were no less impressive than what they have in Cairo and Giza but why do Luxor allow pixs? I dunno the reason but I got a good time snapping pix of structures as well as homo sapien.
Before we left, I walked round this Kheper statue seven times so that my wish can come true. I wanna walk many 7 times but after the first 7times, I almost pesan pusing2! So I only managed to make one wish and that was getting Ten Million by year end but I forget to mention the currency, if its give me Indonesian Ruppiah then sei lol!
Here once stood the world's tallest obelisk, The Lateran Obelisk at 32.3 metres. Emperor Constantine ordered that the obelisk to be moved to Constantinople but it ended up in Rome instead, that’s sum up the quality of mail service during Roman Empire. It fell over at some stage in its life and was re-erected in 1588 in the Piazza San Giovanni in Laterano.
We only spend like 30minutes here because we were so tired and hungry. MoreHam was a totally different guide to s0ohai! S0ohai talked 20mins and let us took pix for 5 min, Moreham talked for 5min and let us took pixs for 20min. He even shown us the best angle and took groups pixs for us, many times. Following Moreham way, I learnt little about places I had visit. I only known this place is call Karnak after I search for it from www!
Egpyt 4.2 -Perfumes-
Then came the most interesting part! According to the so called perfume experts, their perfumes were actually the same as some of the famous brands. Due to marketing licenses and other regulations, they couldn’t name their perfume accordance with those international names. I think its same like buying LV, Gucci and Prada from China made factory. I was not interested in perfumes; I never bought any perfume in my life and not intended to start here. I got my God given perfume, my odour! She who loves me, must love my odour too!
Beside perfumes, they also sell oils for headache, body aches and etc. The super expensive version of Tiger balm, VICKS, Deep Heat and yokoyoko. S0ohai advised us not to buy anything from Luxor or Aswan as things are more expensive there and her words were quite true.
Then, a shocking discovery! They think that the bottled soft drinks are not of its original state. The bottles have been opened when they presented to us and there were no bubbles in the bottle. Sei lol! They sounds right le, it must either refilled by them or leftover from others!
Piuk! Piuk! Piuk!
Errrr, I am immune to Hepatitis but not sure about others illness!
Don’t care la, die die la!
We didn’t buy anything from the "Perfume Museum" and Muhd must be starting to dislike us, LOL!
Egpyt 4.3 -Breakfast-
On our way to have our "4PM breakfast", Muhd tried to earn some extra bucks from us again. Promoting Hot Air Balloons to us! Can’t remember exactly how much it cost, but it’s around 100euro per person. I was slightly interested (maybe 23% interests) but when I was told I need to wake up at 4am! Sorry la, even if that's free I still need to consider but I was not going to pay for my own suffering. I have enough of 16hours train and I want to get as much rest as possible!
So muhd failed again to rip us off again, I thought he must be very pissed off with us now. I don’t buy the theory of shopping sphere in Egypt! In our group, Cherrie contribute most to Egypt economy, she never stops buying.
As usual Lunch was "paid" by the tourguide but we have learnt a lot since Day 0ne. We only ordered three big bottles of soft drinks, to lower the impact to our pocket. Again! Muhd failed to rip us off again! He must be verrrrrrrrrry pissed off by now but he was still smiling!
