Out of the ancient Egyptian holy land at Abydos and the holy site for Osiris which is called Bu-Sier a countless amount of votive Stelae were collected. Stele of Seneb at the British Museum is a good example of the funeral stelae which are between 1500-1200 B.C. Generally, the votive stelae should start with the HOTEP-DI-NISU spell, to invocate the underworld patron gods. The text on Seneb stele mentions " May the king become happy*kind* to give, May Osiris lord of JEDDU be happy to give him thousands of offerings from House of offerings, jars of wine and peer , cattle and poultry, everyday for the well purified, the living god in his KA * double* and his REN* name* Seneb.

Ramsess The Great adds a lot more of glory to Luxor Temple.
Luxor temple is one of the most charming and impressive temples in all over Egypt generally and in Luxor city specifically. Luxor Temple was founded by the great faithful pharaoh to Amun, king Amunhotep III or Amenophis III and it dates back to the 18th dynasty which is about 1400 B.C. King Amunhotep III established the whole interior of the temple including the holy of the holies, the vestibules ,the open-court and the inner pylon. The temple was dedicated mainly for god Amun-Ra's cult and for celebrating the Opet feasts "the marriage feast" of Amun-Ra. The feast was held and arranged by the clergies of both temples and the royal family. The ram-headed sphinxes avenue, three kilometers long, which is the one connects Luxor temple with the Grand Karnak temple used to be crowded with flag boles, priests and sacrifices. The temple of Luxor was completed and finished by king Ramsess II who created the exterior of the temple and carved on its first pylon his great victory over the Hittites and their allies, that fierce war which started ages ago had brought Egypt a lot more of honour and dignity. The battle of Qadish, in Syria had given Ramsess II the whole prestigious image he aimed at. Luxor Temple was provided with two giant obelisks , gigantic pair of seated statues of king Ramsess II and four of his free-standing statues in order to commemorate his great victory in Qadish and to dignify his father Amun in Luxor temple.

Cairo Museum, the most fascinating collection of ancient fans.

Ancient Egyptians had left behind the oldest fans so ever, and that is due to the hot climate in ancient Egypt. Cairo Museum keeps a large amount of fans that belong to different ages. No doubt having a fan was so essential to most of ancient Egyptians as their tombs were filled with very rich belongings and enough sets of fans. The most ancient fans, generally, had their design inspired from Ra the sun-god, and its rising semi disc as mostly they have semi circular shape. Fan-bearers indeed were so important even they included by almost every funeral scene. King Tutankhamun's collection of fans never fails to astonish all its visitors but the most unique is still to be his swinging fan. The unique swinging fan is made of ivory, ostrich feathers, gold and precious stones. Its ivory handle was brought from a massive elephant tusk, its pure golden spike which controls the swinging is so pure and still to be hard and the well preserved ostrich feathers while been older than 3000 years.
