Luxor Day 2 - Luxor Temple

Luxor Temple was beautiful too, but smaller than Karnak Temple.  See the post below for Karnak Temple since we went to that one first.  Here we are in front of Luxor Temple:
This is the line of sphinxes with lion heads that leads to Karnak Temple.  The sphinxes at Karnak Temple have ram heads.  
Ms. Newman and I standing in a HUGE archway!
The Christians from the time of the persecution of Nero (4th century AD) came to the temples to hide.  They painted this on one of the walls of the temple.  
Here's one of the Egyptians with Ms. Forman.
This was a head statue of Ramses II.  I'm pretending to whisper in his ear, but it's all an illusion.  His NOSE is really bigger than my head...I'm just standing closer to the camera so it looks like I'm proportionally larger.
Huge columns at Luxor Temple:
This is a statue of King Tut with his young wife.  
One of the beautiful sphinxes!
Here's the beautiful Luxor Temple at night!  It looks absolutely amazing!
