Max travels around Egypt - Part 3

In the Valley of the Kings Max visited the famous tomb Of the Pharaoh Tutankhamen. This tomb has a number 62 on it and is spelt different. The 62 means it was the 62nd tomb found and there are sometimes more than 1 way to spell Egyptian names.
When Max visited the Egyptian museum in Cairo he saw sarcophagi (plural for more than one sarcophagus), masks, jewellery and gold as well a large range of other items that were buried with the Pharaohs to help them in their ‘after-life’.



After leaving the Valley of the Kings Max saw these 2 huge statues and had to stop for a look. They are called the Colossus of Memnon and are all that are left from another temple that was here a very long time ago.






Max was excited about how large they were and wanted to have a photo taken with one of them.





Next visit for Max was the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. She is the only woman who became Pharaoh and pretended to be a male so that she could rule. She built this large temple which Max really liked.

Max had to stop on the way climbing the ramp to get to the top of the Temple. He is sitting here on the side of the ramp being careful not to fall.

When Max climbed to the top of the Temple he had to have a rest and leant against part of the Temple that had fallen over.
