The Ancient World
After dark spectacular lighting makes it easier to pick out the obelisk and statues of Ramses II in front of the first pylon (outer gate), with the lit mosque just behind the wall atop Luxor Temple, Egypt. Dedicated to the Theban triad of Amun-Min, Mut, and Konsu, Luxor Temple standing in the center of town is lit up at night. © Rick Collier
