Egypt: Archaeologists discover 3,500 year old tombs in Luxor
Archaeologists announced the discovery of two ancient tombs in the city of Luxor on Saturday. The excavation team believes the burial chambers date back to the 18th dynasty of the ancient Egyptians, around 3,500 years ago.
The tombs contained several artefacts, texts and wall paintings alongside mummified remains.
As for the identity of the mummies, head of the Egyptian excavation mission Dr. Mostafa Waziri was able to provide some clues. We believe that the mummy could be a top official or powerful figure in court. We think the mummy belongs to a person who lived in the second part of the 18th dynasty, which means they may belong to the era of King Amenhotep II through to the IV, he said.
The location of the tombs, on the west bank of the river Nile, was identified by German archaeologist Federica Kampp in the 1990s. However, 'Kampp 150' and 'Kampp 160', the names assigned to the tombs, had never been entered before.
The Egyptian government hopes that the discovery will boost the country's ailing tourism sector, which has been in decline since 2011 due to political unrest.

Egypt announces discovery of 3,500-year-old tomb in Luxor
The Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities announced on Thursday the discovery of a large tomb near the Valley of Kings in Luxor.
The tomb was discovered by Egyptian archeologists after 8 months of excavation.
It belonged to Shed Sou Djehuty who was a prince, a mayor and a royal seal holder in ancient Egypt.
He might have served under King Thutmose I who ruled Egypt about 3,500 years ago.
The drawings in the tomb showed ancient crafts such as making boats of papyrus, fish and bird hunting and leather tanning.
Ushabti statues, 50 funerary seals, a funerary mask and other small objects were also found in the tomb.
A 60-ton statue of ancient Egyptian King Ramses II at the Luxor Temple was unveiled Thursday evening after its restoration and re-erection.
This statue is 12 meters tall and It was broken into 14 pieces when the restoration started 8 months ago.
These activities are part of marking the World Heritage Day celebrated on April 18 each year.
Luxor Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Luxor in Egypt.
Egypt’s Golden Age commenced with Thebes, known today as Luxor, which lies on the eastern bank of the Nile. Homer referred to Luxor’s temples as, „El-Uqsor“, “The Place of Palaces”. From Ramses to Tut-ench-Amun…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.

Egypt: 30 mummies discovered in Valley of the Kings
Subscribe to our channel! rupt.ly/subscribe
Egyptian archaeologists revealed the discovery of 30 ancient wooden coffins containing mummies near Luxor on Saturday.
The discovery was unveiled in front of Hatshepsut Temple in the Valley of the Kings.
The cache was the first to be dug up by an Egyptian mission, after years of foreign-led archaeological digs. A point that the Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities Mostafa Waziri and former antiquities minister Zahi Hawass were proud to emphasise.
The mummies were wrapped in cloth and placed inside sealed sarcophagi. Coffins with carved hands open were female, while if the hands were balled into firsts, they held males, according to Waziri.
The scenes carved on the side of the wooden caskets represented different aspects of the afterlife.
The burial site dates from the 22nd dynasty, around 1,000 BC.

EGYPT: Luxor Temple
Luxor Temple is a large Ancient Egyptian temple complex located on the east bank of the Nile River in the city today known as Luxor (ancient Thebes). It was constructed approximately 1400 BCE.
Unlike the other temples in Luxor, Luxor temple is not dedicated to a cult god or a deified version of the king in death. Instead Luxor temple is dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship; it may have been where many of the kings of Egypt were crowned.
To the rear of the temple are chapels built by Amenhotep III of the 18th Dynasty, and Alexander. Other parts of the temple were built by Tutankhamun and Ramesses II. During the Roman era, the temple and its surroundings were a legionary fortress and the home of the Roman government in the area. During the Roman period a chapel inside the Luxor Temple originally dedicated to goddess Mut was transformed in to a Tetrarchy cult chapel and later in to a church.
Luxor temple was built with sandstone. This sandstone from the Gebel el-Silsila region, which is located in South-Western Egypt, is referred to as Nubian Sandstone. This sandstone was used for the construction for monuments in Upper Egypt as well as in the course of past and current restoration works.
The Avenue of Sphinxes that links the Luxor and Karnak temples is being restored.
The Mosque of Abu Haggag stands atop the ruins of Luxor Temple, just inside the entrance.

Ancient ancient coffins discovered in Luxor
(19 Oct 2019) Egypt's antiquities authority on Saturday unveiled 30 ancient wooden coffins recently discovered in the southern city of Luxor.
Antiquities minister Khaled el-Anany said that the coffins, with inscriptions and paintings, were found in the Asasif Necropolis on the River Nile's west bank near Luxor.
He said that the coffins were for men, women and children from the 22nd dynasty (945 B.C. 715 B.C.), and had been collected and hidden by a priest for fear of being looted.
The coffins were discovered in two layers, and were all exceptionally painted and preserved el-Anany said.
Egypt has sought publicity for its archaeological discoveries in the hopes of reviving its tourism sector, which was badly hit by the turmoil following the 2011 uprising.

Luxor, Egypt - World's Greatest Open Air Museum by the Nile
Luxor, Egypt - The city on the east bank of the Nile River that is rich with lots of historical tombs, museums, monuments, and temples that made it the world's greatest open air museum. Luxor is the place where the kings and queens of old Egypt were crowned.
Luxor, Egypt, is the city that tourists visit for two different reasons: first of all it is filled with lots of historical museums and temples which people get astonished by. Second, being placed by the Nile River give this city a different look and atmosphere, one that make people happy with the view which they might as well receive from their hotel rooms.
There are several things we have seen in this city, the one that is really considered an open air museum because every single direction one tends to look in, there is something to be spotted. The ruins of the temple complexes at Karnak and Luxor stand in the middle of the modern city, which was the site of the ancient Egyptian city of Thebes.
On the opposite side across the Nile River, there are the monuments, temples, and tombs of the west bank Necropolis, which include the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens. The Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut is one of the most famous landmarks of Luxor that tourists from all over the world come to see.
The west bank of Luxor has always been the main area for cemeteries and mortuary temples, and this is a role that has not been changed till these days. Luxor Temple is one of the sites that is also considered different since this ancient Egyptian complex is a place where people get to walk in between those long pillars and just think about how the Pharaohs managed to build them; this place is where many of the kings of Egypt where crowned.
Among the different sites which one will have to visit in Luxor, Egypt, Karnak Temple is on the list and it is considered a vast open air museum and the second ancient religious in the world, making Luxor a place that stands on top due to the different ancient historical treasures that it carries.
Generally speaking, there are several things one should see in Luxor and which are divided between the west bank and the east bank. In the West Bank, there is the Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens, Madinet Habu (memorial temple of Ramses III), the Ramseseum (memorial temple of Ramses II), Tombs of the Nobles, Deir Al-Bahri which is the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, Malkata (palace of Amenophis III) as well as Colossi of Memnon (memorial temple of Amenophis III).
On the other side, those attractions found on the east bank include Luxor Temple, Karnak Temple, Luxor Museum, and the Mummification Museum.
For those who plan to travel to Luxor, Egypt, they always include Aswan in this plan because they are next to one another and they could even book a room in a Nile Cruise that will take them through Luxor and Aswan and show them the historical landmarks during the trip by stopping at these spots and letting the tourists come down and enjoy the place - they could even book the whole thing with a tour guide.
Getting the chance to see the different monuments, temples, and museums is the number one reason behind heading to Luxor, Egypt, but some people plan to make this trip extraordinary with doing any of the activities which they might not get the chance to do anywhere else, such as riding the air balloon or else riding a horse carriage. In Aswan, make sure to go and enjoy the Nubian life if you have the time to, because the colors of the place will make you feel like you want to stay there forever.
Egypt is one of the countries that is stuffed with lots of historical places for the tourists to visit and come across but most of those who choose Egypt as their destination tend to start with Cairo, so if your trip is going to start there, you have to know that a train to Luxor will take about 12 hours and is considered very tiring, so you could better book a plane ticket. In addition to that, the weather in Egypt is usually hot in summer but when it comes to Luxor and Aswan, this hotness is doubled, so it is better to come in winter or the first days of spring.
This was our experience in Luxor, Egypt, so tell us how was yours if you have been there? Since we want our trips to Egypt to be different, we think that checking Al Fayoum ( or heading to Alexandria ( should be our next plans, or we could even surf the internet and search for the other cities or places in Egypt which are known with famous landmarks or activities which we might be able to visit.
At Connolly Cove channel, you will be able to receive several recommendations and suggestions for the places to visit in the countries you are planning to travel to. We are mainly focused on Ireland and Northern Ireland but lately we decided to expand to other countries that we even managed to reach Egypt eventually and see it differently, and here we are in Luxor this time.
EGYPT: Nile Cruise & Ancient Monuments (Luxor, Aswan, Giza)
Impression of Egypt along the Nile. More videos of the 7-day Nile Cruise:
Egyptian civilization have depended on the river Nile since ancient times. Most of the population and cities of Egypt lie along the Nile valley north of Aswan. Silt deposits from the Nile made the surrounding land fertile because the river overflowed its banks annually. The Ancient Egyptians cultivated and traded wheat, flax, papyrus and other crops around the Nile. The Nile was also a convenient and efficient means of transportation for people and goods. Nearly all the cultural and historical sites of Ancient Egypt are found along river banks.
The Nile was an important part of ancient Egyptian spiritual life and considered to be a causeway from life to death and the afterlife. The east was thought of as a place of birth and growth, and the west was considered the place of death. Thus, all tombs were west of the Nile, because the Egyptians believed that in order to enter the afterlife, they had to be buried on the side that symbolized death.

For more detailed information about each monument see the description of each individual video. Except for:
The Colossi of Memnon (51:16) are two massive stone statues of the Pharaoh Amenhotep III, who reigned in Egypt during the Dynasty XVIII. For the past 3,400 years (since 1350 BC), they have stood in the Theban Necropolis, located west of the River Nile from the modern city of Luxor. Two shorter figures are carved into the front throne alongside his legs: these are his wife Tiye and mother Mutemwiya. The side panels depict the Nile god Hapy.
The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities (55:30), known commonly as the Egyptian Museum, in Cairo-Egypt, is home to an extensive collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities. It has 120,000 items, with a representative amount on display, the remainder in storerooms. It houses the world's largest collection of Pharaonic antiquities.
Part of the collection will be moved to the new Grand Egyptian Museum set to open in 2020. It will house Tutankhamun's complete collection of between 4000 and 5000 artefacts, many of which are undergoing restoration and have never been displayed; the vast collection we have viewed at the old museum represents only about a third of the whole. The Grand Egyptian Museum is located on 50 hectares at Giza, two kilometres from the Grand Pyramids. The Egyptian Museum in Cairo will remain open.
