Luxor Karnak Temple, feel the place where the sun rises!

In the golden desert of Egypt, hides an ancient and mysterious treasure—the Luxor Karnak Temple. 🏺 Not only is it the world's largest open-air museum, but it is also a magnificent building that has witnessed countless historical changes. 🏛️ Due to the flooding of the Nile, some of the temple's murals have been damaged by water erosion, but these imperfect beauties still tell the story of ancient Egyptian civilization. 📖 The construction of the temple is a deep reverence for the god Amun-Ra, completed jointly by more than a dozen pharaohs including Seti I, Queen Hatshepsut, and Thutmose III. 👑 Among them, the contributions of Ramses II are the most eye-catching. His mark is scattered in every corner of this temple, as if showing off his glory and power to the world. 📜 Walking among these huge columns, you will find yourself as if in the living room of the gods, where the sun god rises every day, a symbol of light and hope. ☀️ The 134 columns are covered with exquisite murals, each one a tribute to the wisdom and art of the ancient Egyptian people. 🖌️ Back in school, I always looked down on ancient Egyptian art, thinking it was too orderly and lacked a human touch. But when I actually set foot on this land and witnessed these great relics with my own eyes, I deeply felt my ignorance. 😲 Every stone and every mural here contains endless stories and wisdom. Come on, let's explore this unparalleled open-air museum together, feel the charm of ancient Egyptian civilization, and let our souls wander through the river of history. 🛶 By experiencing this shock personally, you will find that this place is not just a relic, but a dialogue that spans thousands of years.
