It was focus on the construction of the Aswan Dam that created my fascination with these temples, and this complex. And Egypt. So thankful that they relocated these treasures.

I saw a G.

I've seen it all.

Dope describes my rhymes, making all you MCS cold drop like dimes. You know MCSC is back again, and battling me on the microphone is like committing a sin.

This amazing video brings back beautiful memories. I was there about 11 years ago. I have pictures standing in front of Abu Simbel. After seeing this I feel it's time for me to definitely go back. Thank you for making me feel happy right now. :-)

Great video on Abu Simbel. Brings back memories as it was 2006 when my wife and I were there. I like your shots inside - back then, no photography was allowed inside. Historical aspect is well appreciated too! Hope your son had a great 9th B-day in Egypt. One to remember! Take care. 😀

Could you tell us more details on your itinerary? My dream is to go to Abu Sinbel but know nothing of how to go there, where to stay, how many days are necessary, should I go from Cairo? How to reach Aswan, safe traveling for families, etc

A voice-over would be better than cutting away so we can see you talk. Just show us Abu Simbel

Thoth, the god of the Underworld? He's the god of wisdom and literature, and Osiris is the god of the dead. Eh?

They recreated Abu simbel on the assassin's creed game, the ancient Egyptians were incredible engineers, it was an incredible civilization, it's not mentioned in the bible over 600 times for nothing.
