87 EG - Ancient Thebes with its Necropolis (1979)

Brief Description

"Thebes, the city of the god Amon, was the capital of Egypt during the period of the Middle and New Kingdoms. With the temples and palaces at Karnak and Luxor, and the necropolises of the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens, Thebes is a striking testimony to Egyptian civilization at its height."

底比斯古城及其墓地
"底比斯(Thebes)是古埃及中新王国时代的首都,是阿蒙神(god Amon)之城,与卡纳克(Karnak)和卢克索(Luxor)的神庙和宫殿、国王陵墓谷和王后陵墓谷一起,共同构成了埃及文明繁荣鼎盛的见证。"
