June, 1997: The Temple of Karnak was built over a period of 1500 years and is, according to 1000 Places to See Before You Die, "one of the greatest architectural achievements ever executed." The site covers 100 acres. The Temple of Karnak is linked by a line of sphinxes to the Temple of Luxor, on the South. 
Here I am sitting down in front of this ancient structure; it gives you an idea as to the size of this unbelievable creation.

Memphis - Ramses II
Verdict: Egypt is absolutely one of the coolest places I have ever been. There is so much to do and all of it is completely fascinating, ancient and truly remarkable to see and experience in person.
