Thank you so much, You have brought back so many happy memories of my times spent in Luxor. Unfortunately we can no longer fly into Luxor from the UK and I miss it, and my friends there. Karnak looks very quiet. The light and sound show there was amazing. Love to everyone there 💕
Lesley gives an outstanding walking tour of Karnak Temple. Her knowledge of the pharaonic period is evident and adds to one's total enjoyment of time well spent.
My favorite guide, im so happy i found you on youtube, because i live in Australia, it isso hard sometimes to get up at different hours, I enjoy your tours so much, thank you Lesley .
Thanks a lot Lesley. We visited Egypt, and Luxor especially as a part of the Nile cruise, last February. Your 45 minutes video was one of the guidance that we took in enjoying the vital areas of this temple.

Many thanks Lesley - I enjoyed your explanations and I could feel your love for this place - could you please let me know which is the coptic monastery you mentioned which has recycled the stones from Karnak Temple ?
We are glad that you enjoyed the tour, Gilda! This means a lot to us. And stay tuned because we have a video coming up from Giza.

You didn't show the massive thumbnail and hand statue remnant ...... I so want to see that when I visit soon. Thanks for the tour though .... fascinating.
Thanks very much for this tour. Would enjoy tours of other sites in Egypt, Morocco, Indian and Chinese cities, Anghor Wat (spelling?). Love the birds chirping in this video--pretty sounds and somehow make it easier to imagine how someone in the day would have experienced walking about or worshipping in the complex, since the ancestors of the current species were probably making the same sounds....
More to come. We plan to release videos on both the Giza pyramids and the Great Wall in the next few weeks, so stay tuned. One of the owners is from India, so safe to assume that we will be there as well.
It was really great job and fabulous camera work.Thanks a million, but if it is possible to change the part of translation at the start of the video about Amon-Ra as it was written the God of Thieves instead of the God of Thebes. Really great job.👏👏👏
no, I have not, but I can tell you when you use a pulley to move something heavy, a pulley halves the weight when pulling, but not when carrying, that remains the same, the beam on which a side pulley is attached must be able to carry the real weight, but at tarnak there were no beams to support that bridge or lock would be too big and too heavy, the pillars that carry the weight serve that purpose and that is why the whole building is built downwards, that is what I can tell you and this is just my opinion
Thank you so much but your sound wasn't as loud as I would have liked. I had my sound right up and I understand there's ppl milling about. I am deaf in my left ear and wear headphones. I never have a problem with the brilliant #SineadOLeary who I love. JS

The stones will laugh because this is not a temple. This is clearly a fort on the river side. The 8 niches that you see at the entrance are to block the supporting beams of a bridge and when the bridge is lifted, the beams fit into those niches. The holes above the niches serve to allow the pulleys and ropes to pass through to the rear. is that those pillars are so close together to absorb the weight of the bridge. with those pulleys because they support the bridge

The sound production values are quite low. Often Lesley's voice drops too low for us to hear what she is saying and the explanation of what we are looking at is lost. Also, many times it is not clear, as in the Tuthmosis III area, what we are looking at. Also, there are many points along the way that she does not explain. The areas just appear as yet more broken blocks. Generally, a more professional approach production would have been appreciated. There are a few misattributions. One is the attribution of the sphinxes in the Sphinx Avenue. Lesley attributed these to Ramesses II whereas they were actually created by Nectanebo. She said the First Pylon was made by Amenhotep III whereas it also was actually made by Nectanebo. Also, the Hypostyle Hall was created by Sethy I not Amenhotep III and finished by Ramesses II. Generally, I appreciated hearing about more areas like the lesser temples than are usually covered in tours of Karnak. I especially liked hearing about and seeing Amun`s Holy of Holies and the Sacred Lake.

Many thanks Lesley - I enjoyed your explanations and I could feel your love for this place - could you please let me know which is the coptic monastery you mentioned which has recycled the stones from Karnak Temple ?

Angkor Wat. You were close.
Where did the water come from for the Sacred Lakes?
It was really great job and fabulous camera work.Thanks a million, but if it is possible to change the part of translation at the start of the video about Amon-Ra as it was written the God of Thieves instead of the God of Thebes. Really great job.👏👏👏
Ask to see the tunnels under the temple
no, I have not, but I can tell you when you use a pulley to move something heavy, a pulley halves the weight when pulling, but not when carrying, that remains the same, the beam on which a side pulley is attached must be able to carry the real weight, but at tarnak there were no beams

It's awesome, I need your help if you're living in Luxor !
Thank you so much but your sound wasn't as loud as I would have liked.
I had my sound right up and I understand there's ppl milling about.
I am deaf in my left ear and wear headphones.

Do you have any illustrations or videos depicting what you are describing.
