Like in any other civilization, the most talented architects usually work for the kings. The kings only care about two things: religion and their tombs.

These high golden walls and buildings is fantastic! It is good for you to understand the religious and mysterious meaning behind these historical architectures. That indicates that you are not merely watch the appearance of this turist sites but also try to trace back to the philosophy system in ancient Egypt. Each pictures is beautiful and show your great improvement on taking pictures. By the way, I discover there appear to be a sea outside the iron window in the second photograph, however other photographs especially the next to the last shows that these sites are in the vicinity of desert. It loos very odd. I would love to know why.
