Answer 1

You cannot talk about monuments in Egypt without talking about the Ancient Pyramids. Considered one of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World, the pyramids were built around 2,600 B.C.E., and they are some of the largest structures ever built. Although there is some speculation about who built them and why, our society generally understands that the pharaohs had the pyramids built as burial grounds.

Temple of Horus at Edfu

Standing at over one hundred feet tall, the ground for this temple was broken in 257 B.C.E. and was finished in 57 B.C.E. Heralded as a monument for the Ancient Egyptian god of Horus, it features various rooms, pylons, and statues with many drawings and hieroglyphics. If you want to see this immense temple, it is located on the west Nile city of Edfu.

Luxor Temple

Located in the present-day city of Luxor along the east bank of the Nile, this temple of the ancient city of Thebes is where Egypt's characteristic obelisk structure was made famous. This temple was the site of the annual Opet Festival, an ancient Egyptian ritual. The Luxor Temple features traces of the Roman Era, when it was surrounded by a legionary fortress and the home of the Roman government.
