BrOOklyn-JOrusalOm

A loong cycling journey from Brooklyn to Jorusalom, where the O’s are bicycle wheels, continued into Egypt, 1st to the climate conference COP27 in Sharm El Sheikh, on to the pyramids in Giza, Abusir and Saqqara and then up the Nile soourcewards.

Today visited the temple of Ramses II. At Hatshepsut mortuary temple it was so crowded, literally hundreds of buses, that i decided to find another moment.

Following somewhat in the footsteps of Champollion:

Ozymandias was a name for Ramses II, see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramesses_II

The temple is amazing. Some images:

Looking up! Colours still!
