Luxor Egypt - West Bank (Part 1 of 2)
Luxor was once a great capital of Upper Egypt and the glorious city of Amun. Just one hour away (by plane) from Cairo, this city is truly the world's greatest open-air museum. It's where the Valley of the Kings - the principal burial place of the major royal figures of the Egyptian New Kingdom sits, as well as the Luxor & Karnak temples which all serves a significant role during the ancient times.

RR9724/D - EGYPT: LIVING IN THE PAST
(Dur: 6 mins 39 secs/English sot: 2 mins 38 secs)
MUSIC: Cairo Museum by David Rohl
At the centre of a dispute highlighting a common conflict of interest in Egypt, the village of Qurna is threatened with demolition. The government plans to move the eight thousand
inhabitants to a nearby prefabricated New Qurna, thus gaining access to the unexplored tombs beneath the village, for the archaeologists and also for the tourists. The local people are in uproar; their livelihood and their heritage is at risk. Situated in the heart off ancient Thebes, the village has links with two of the most important events in the exploration of
pharaonic Egypt: the discovery of the Royal Cache of mummies and Howard Carter's finding of the tomb of Tutankhamun.

hassn fathy ,gourna LUXOR -EGYPT the architect الاقصر -مصر
This film from the design Mahmoud Ahmed Abdel-Radi No one assisted as stated محمود احمد عبد الراضى +20105715292Dr Hassan Fathy, born in Alexandria in 1900, became one of the outstanding architects of his generation in Africa, demonstrating that it is possible to build for the poor and teching people to build for themself. Fathy taught at the Faculty of Fine Arts of Cairo University and served as head of its Department of Architecture. In 1981 he established the International Institute for Appropriate Technology in Cairo to develop and apply his approach. With the publication in 1973 of Architecture for the Poor (University of Chicago Press), Fathy's work came to international attention. This book, which has since become a classic, describes in detail Fathy's experience in planning and building the village of New Gourma, using mud bricks and employing traditional Egyptian architectural features such as enclosed courtyards and domed and vaulted roofing. Fathy worked closely with the people to tailor his designs to their needs. He taught them how to work with the mud bricks, supervised the erection of buildings and encouraged the revival of ancient decorative techniques. Although New Gourma remained uncompleted, due to bureaucratic red tape and other problems, it has been said of Fathy that he produced 'not only answers but inspiration; hist thought, experience and spirit constitute a major international resource.' In 1980 he received the Aga Khan Award for Architecture and in 1984 the Gold Medal of the Union of International Architects. Dr Fathy died in Cairo in 1989.

EGYPT: Valley of the Kings - Luxor
The Valley of the Kings is a valley in Egypt where rock cut tombs were excavated for the pharaohs and powerful nobles of the New Kingdom (the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Dynasties of Ancient Egypt).
The valley stands on the west bank of the Nile, opposite Thebes (modern Luxor), within the heart of the Theban Necropolis. It consists of two valleys, East Valley (where the majority of the royal tombs are situated) and West Valley (only one tomb is open to the public).
The Valley was used for primary burials for a period of nearly 500 years from the 16th to 11th century BC. It contains at least 63 tombs, beginning with Thutmose I (or possibly earlier, during the reign of Amenhotep I) and ending with Ramesses X or XI, although non-Royal burials continued in usurped tombs.
Only about 20 of the tombs actually contain the remains of kings. The remains of nobles and of the royal family, together with unmarked pits and embalming caches, make up the rest. Around the time of Ramesses I (ca. 1301 BC) construction commenced in the separate Valley of the Queens.
The royal tombs are decorated with scenes from Egyptian mythology and give clues as to the beliefs and funerary rituals of the period. Almost all of the tombs seem to have been opened and robbed in antiquity, but they still give an idea of the opulence and power of the pharaohs.
The tombs were constructed and decorated by the workers of the village of Deir el-Medina. The daily lives of these workers are quite well known and are recorded in tombs and official documents.
In modern times the valley has become famous for the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun (with its rumours of the curse of the pharaohs), and is one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world. In 1979, it became a World Heritage Site, along with the rest of the Theban Necropolis. Exploration, excavation and conservation continues in the valley.
Most of the tombs are not open to the public (18 of the tombs can be opened, but they are rarely open at the same time), and officials occasionally close those that are open for restoration work. Tour guides are no longer allowed to lecture inside the tombs, and visitors are expected to proceed quietly and in single file through the tombs. This is to minimize time in the tombs and prevent the crowds from damaging the surfaces of the decoration.
El Qurn is the highest point (420 m) in the Theban Hills. It has an almost pyramidal shape when viewed from the entrance to the Valley of the Kings, and therefore some Egyptologists believe it may have been the reason for choosing the location as a royal necropolis.

A videography ticket (EP 300) is needed to film inside the tombs.

Hassan Fathy's New Gourna.
Hassan Fathy's Architecture for the Poor reviewed by Attilio Petruccioli
Hassan Fathy (Alexandria 1900 – Cairo 1989) was Egypt's most important architect of the 20th century. He is hardly known outside of Egypt and was unpopular in his native country throughout his life. He received numerous awards including the 1970 French Literary Prize for 'Architecture for the Poor', which originally published in French.
Hassan Fathy's great contribution to modern Egyptian architecture is the rediscovery of traditional methods of clay construction. Their principles had been forgotten; not until he was aided by Nubian master builders did he succeed in creating a renaissance in archway and cupola construction techniques, which he first tested in projects in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, India and Greece.
'Architecture for the Poor' describes Hassan Fathy's plan for building the village of New Gourna (near Luxor, Egypt) without the use of more modern and expensive materials such as steel and concrete. Using mud bricks, and such traditional Egyptian architectural designs as enclosed courtyards and vaulted roofing, Fathy worked with the villagers to tailor his designs to their needs. He taught them how to work with bricks, supervised the erection of the buildings, and encouraged the revival of ancient crafts, such as claustra, to adorn buildings.
Outreach & Education - Past, Present, and Future of Hassan Fathy's New Gourna, Egypt
As part of its assessment efforts at New Gourna, the World Monuments Fund team engaged the local community in a dialogue about the history of village and its conservation, and produced the film: Hassan Fathy's New Gourna: Past - Present - Future.
