Magical Places and Things- Egypt- Luxor Temple

Another spectacular ancient site that can been seen close to the Nile River is Karnak Temple. it was a part of the ancient city of Thebes and was a religious site. An avenue of Sphinxes connected this temple with the other grand temple in the city which is now known as the Luxor temple. The avenue originally was 1 1/2 miles long. Taken on my third visit to the temple when these statues continued to intrigue me.
