Egypt -
Theben

In Theben there is the Valley of the Kings, the unfortunately not effective hiding place of the final resting place for may Egyptian Kings. Only the grave of Tutanchamun was not already plundered when rediscovered in the modern age.
 

Also in Theben you can find the Medinat Habu, the well-fortified funeral temple of Ramses III.
 

Even it is, after Karnak, the second biggest temple complex in Egypt, the visitors only pay few attention to it. Maybe this is because this temple is a little of the beaten path ...
 

And once again you could easily forget, facing all this beauty, that the colours of the wall paintings already withstood 3000 years.
