Luxor Temple

Thanks in building this temple in its current form on the east bank of the Nile on one axis from north to south to King Amenhotep III of the kings of the eighteenth dynasty, then added him King Ramses II of the kings of the Nineteenth Dynasty chief and his successor, a spacious courtyard with a masters Papyrus and potentially the first nucleus of this temple has developed in the Middle Kingdom.



Is Amenhotep III establishing this temple to the Theban Triad; most likely for two reasons: first to confirm the proportion of the god Amun himself; as the eligibility to the throne were not clear, according to Egyptian traditions that states that Pharaoh should be son of the king and breed ownership; either if strain is pure Victsp eligibility to the throne to marry the eldest daughter of the king (the former). did not apply one conditions on Amenhotep III taller "death - or - Oya" were not Egyptian but was Lady Mitanih girl "Artatama" King of the State of Mitanni was not his wife "T" strain of ownership it was Our Lady of the general public. That thought Amenhotep that confirmed his legitimacy to the throne prove lineage to the god Amun himself like مافعلت Hatshepsut before; Fahadah thinking "after consulting the priests of Amon" to registration of birth sacred walls of the room famous temple known Chamber of birth and the result of this that Amenhotep III is known that he is not a descendant of ownership Egypt became the best of the former kings of Egypt who carried royal blood in their veins Anakahlonh became the son of the god Amun-Ra directly; crucifixion and this myth and this theory confirmed Amenhotep III eligibility in the throne. The second thing is to satisfy the priests of Amon order Atqubloh king legitimate to Egypt, despite the lack of clarity eligibility in the throne He could not priests of Amun refused ratios Amenhotep III to the god Amun; has promised the establishment of a large temple to announce the affair Amon great and this accept priests new king percentage Divine did not reject people who did not suspect anything acceptable to the priests.

God Amun was visiting his wife gods die every year flies from his temple at Karnak to Luxor Temple that made the house "Karnak" Palace "Amon" official "House Luxor" private home lives where to Azauge. But to Aantql to that house in the official motorcade, except in special date from the days of the year. He later married him in the month of folk "door" named after the name of the house itself. They did not choose for the throne of Amun that date Sorry not spur of the moment, but they have chosen after deep thinking driven by the love of life and hope in enjoy Boukerha. In this month be the flood season, a season of fertility and blessing it instills river land Egypt charge the this good Alaziem consulting the minimum sustenance Well live it the sons of life in this valley; If people make marriage Lord "Amon" in this month from the days of the year, it means that they but Kanu seeking him and themselves good and the pond in the goodness and blessings later and to hope his fertile in his marriage and to bless them with fertile Yagmurhm His righteousness and mercy. Color of the human intellect driven by love to stay and security of life and seek doors livelihood from their doors. Thus thought Egyptians married Lord "Amon" then they are now celebrating the anniversary of the marriage if it came river flood season each year.

Fired Egyptians on this temple name "Father docked" any "ABT" South differed specialists in meaning of the word "Father" and sees mostly to talk to him, "Father," which means "harem" and "Father docked" means harem South because procession god holy transmitted accidentally Nile Temple of Karnak to Luxor Temple any of the north to the south and this is believed specialists that he was not in the period spent "Amon" in Luxor, which was eleven days in the eighteenth dynasty and reached twenty-three days in the Nineteenth Dynasty and Azdadt to twenty-seven days in family and he was twenty are sacred marriage (or celebrate the holy matrimony) between the god Amun and the gods die, this is seen as the Temple of Luxor as "Wedding Palace" is where every year commemoration of this holy wedding.
