	Egyptvoyager.com: Towns - Luxor, Egypt
		Luxor is the world's greatest open-air museum, filled with the awe-inspiring monuments of ancient civilization.
		Luxor is part of ancient Thebes: 'The Hundred-Gated City' as it was called by the renowned Greek historian, Homer, because of its buildings and large gates.
		Luxor remained the seat of power from 2100 to 750B.C. That is why the visitor is awed by the city, made immortal by its huge pillared-monuments along both banks of the Nile.

	Luxor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It has often been called the "world's greatest open air museum", with the ruins of the temple complex at Karnak, Luxor Temple, and the monuments, temples and tombs on the West Bank of the Nile, including the Valley of the Kings and Valley of the Queens.
		Luxor is an excellent base for touring Upper Egypt, and is a popular holiday destination, both in its own right and as a starting or finishing point for Nile cruises.
		And yet, on the other side of the river, the supreme masters of Kemet — the "Black", as Egypt was then called — consecrated a large portion of their treasures in hope of expensive trips in the afterlife.

		Ruined, Thebes did not forfeit any part of its importance and was rather integrated in an entire commercial net of land, fluvial, desert and maritime routes that was established by the Persian conquerors, who wished to link the parts of their vast empire in a definite way.
		The tourist industry – in Egypt in general and in Luxor in particular – was seriously affected by the resultant slump in visitors and remained depressed for at least the following five years.

	Luxor Temple of Thebes in Egypt
		In ancient Egypt the temple area now known as Luxor was called Ipt rsyt, the "southern sanctuary", referring to the holy of holies at the temple’s southern end, wherein the principal god, Amun "preeminent in his sanctuary", dwelt.
		However, recent hypotheses suggest that the temple of Luxor, a collection of irregularly developed structures begun during the reign of Amenhotep III and then expanded, particularly by Ramesses II, and still further enlarged in later years, should be considered a sanctuary dedicated to the celebration of the royal ka.
		Hence, Luxor Temple was the power base of the living divine king, and the foremost national shrine of the king’s cult.
