点评:My favorite temple in all of Egypt, above Luxor, Karnak, Abu Simbel, and Hateshepsut! I think it's drastically underrated, and it's so odd to me that so many people skip it. It's easier to get to than Abu Simbel.
It's very well preserved, with only Edfu beating it. I spent longer here than I expected. I came with high expectations, and being there exceeded them. If you can find a way to get this on your agenda, do it. I can't talk this one up enough. I believe this is also the only temple in Egypt where you can visit the second floor--certainly the only one I went to.
It was also shocking to see what the French did with the zodiac ceiling piece upstairs; I knew it was a replica, but what they left the Egyptians with doesn't deserve to be called that. It's just a badly made black piece that doesn't look anything like the original. It was a truly shameful example of how the West took advantage of this land.
Because so few people go, it was very easy to get the space to myself and really appreciate everything. If people come in, just wait, or go somewhere else for a few minutes and come back. I really took my time and looked at everything I could.
There are also rumors that the Egyptian government may do a little restoration work on a part of the ceiling that has some soot on it, and I would gladly return to see that. This was truly an incredible and worthwhile experience. A definite highlight of my trip. Don't skip the other structures on the site!
翻译:我最喜欢的埃及神庙,比卢克索、卡纳克、阿布辛贝和哈特谢普苏特神庙都好!我觉得它被严重低估了,这么多人都错过了,这让我很奇怪。它比阿布辛贝更容易到达。
它保存得非常好,只有埃德富神庙比它更好。我在这里待的时间比预期的要长。我带着很高的期望来到这里,而实际体验也超出了我的预期。如果你能找到机会把这里列入你的行程,一定要去。我对它赞不绝口。我相信这也是埃及唯一一座可以参观二楼的神庙——当然也是我去过的唯一一座。
看到法国人对楼上黄道十二宫天花板的处理也令人震惊;我知道那是复制品,但他们留给埃及人的东西根本不配被称为复制品。它只是一个做工粗糙的黑色作品,看起来和原作一点也不一样。这真是西方国家如何利用这片土地的一个可耻例子。
因为很少有人去参观,所以我很容易就能找到一个地方,真正地欣赏一切。如果有人进来,就等着,或者去别的地方待几分钟再回来。我真的很认真地参观了所有能参观的地方。
还有传言说,埃及政府可能会对天花板上沾有烟灰的部分进行一些修复工作,我很乐意再回去看看。这真是一次不可思议且物超所值的体验。绝对是我此行的亮点。千万不要错过遗址上的其他建筑!
