Duration: 60 mins
3. Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut
It is 97 feet (30 m) tall. The unusual form of Hatshepsut's temple is explained by the choice of location, in the valley basin of Deir el-Bahari, surrounded by steep cliffs. It was here, in about 2050 BC, that Mentuhotep II, the founder of the Middle Kingdom, laid out his sloping, terrace-shaped mortuary temple.
Duration: 60 mins
4. Tombs of the Nobles - Luxor

We find that in the old state it could be limited to the kings only, the state men struggled to obtain a right like the kings. In the Middle Kingdom they had the legitimate right to immortality and their god became the god Osiris and the royal god was Ra, so Osiris is the popular god, that is, the universality of the people, while Ra is final for the kings only. In the modern state: they had the full right to develop their tombs and decorate them with inscriptions like the kings, and Ra was the god of all the people and the kings.
