Palace of the pharaoh


We know that the ancient Egyptians gave full importance to eternal life considering the mundane life as a transitional stage towards the most important life, so they made their houses of adobe or brick because the worldly life is very short, only sixty or seventy years, no more than ninety years, but eternal life consists of thousands of years, and was intended and desired, for that reason; both buildings dedicated to God as the stone temples were built to last thousands of years and graves also made of blocks of hard stone like the immortal pyramids of powerful pharaohs or hole or tunnel in the mountain as the Valley of Kings and the great pharaohs pharaonic tombs of the powerful pharaohs in the Valley of the Queens. Then the temples and tombs are of eternal life but the houses and palaces of the Pharaohs were made of adobe or brick, but the Pharaohs have built great temples and elegant style of architecture which dominated the secrets of astronomy ,had their palaces of mud brick like ordinary people .It was  a matter of belief for this rligious comunity
THE STEP PYRAMID OF BLOCKS





1-In the north near Tanis (Capital of Ramses The Second in the Delta of Egypt)we have found remains of a palace of the Pharaoh where he received his bride, the daughter of the Hittite king, the palace had everything of a good taste, its four sides were under the advocation of a deity: Amon protected the West, Setekh was protecting the noon, Astarte release and Wadjet the north.En honor of the pharaoh and his wife,they met two Egyptian deities and two Asian
and many statues getting rise of sculpture which made the great tourism in the new Egypt.

2-On the west side of Luxor ,The Third Ramses had a palace called home for recreation, whose remains were saved and studied by archaeologists.the facade of this palace was the first courtyard of the temple of the same faraoh.En this front was located the balcony of the actual occurrences, where the king stood before his people during the holidays, and from there distributed the gifts.It was communicated with the royal apartments within the palace,there were several rooms,at one room between  columns,there was the throne, the king's chamber and a room where there was a shower and baths that the Egyptians knew.and the other rooms for the queen and security of the king; many soldiers because the king  was suspicious, it is said that there was a swimming pool in the palace to spend some time  with secondary women ,they were many, some were foreigners apart from the queen herself
3-The long time has damaged both the palaces of Ramses and Seti because all of that remains are ruins of palaces in Luxor and Tanis, the palaces were generally well organized and secured by many soldiers, among the ruins we have  found many things of astronomy as temples, somethings we can understand an explain and other things we can not;like the ceiling of Esna temple or Dendera temple
SECRETS OF ASTRONOMY
4-the ruins of the palace of Akhenaten at Tell El Amarna, is the monotheistic pharaoh who fought against paganism but the priests of the god Amun Ra have defeated and destroyed his constructions and his palace but we have a good idea as it was this palace: pavement of the Boards of columns represent a pond full of fish, covered with water lilies, where aquatic birds fly, and surrounded by reeds and papyrus,   some calves are jumping, chasing away wild ducks the capitals and cornices are pretty. the walls are painted with familiar scenes.the King and Queen are seated facing each other, Akhenaton in an armchair , Nefertiti on a cushion and daughters sitting and playing.


5-The conclusion, we can say without fear that the palaces of the pharaohs were always decorated with the same luxury, all painted to give joy to the eye, the wealth of luxury furniture and ornaments  were so good that attract the visitors of the Pharaonic Village which made the Pharaonic tourism

RUIN OF A PALACE







Burial rituals

THE FUNERAL OF RAMOSE

Currently when an Egyptian dies, women express their grief in a surprising way that attracts the attention of men who put up more and do the same thing . I discovered the explanation, this comes from the Pharaonic era that women did the same when there was a dead.It is a tradition; inherited from thousands of years.The woman hits her head, grab the sand through his hands and throws it all in her head, you might want to say that the woman will be humiliated after the death of her  man, some women tear their clothes and  some parts of her body were uncovered, while they shout in a scary frightening to children


Egyptian burial was grim and picturesque, family members showing a lot of pain and they hire mourners who walked with his face covered in mud, bare chest, torn clothing, did not stop moaning and banging their head, these details mentioned are engraved on the tombs of the nobles at Luxor

Within the journey to the grave, at the funeral,they are relatives, neighbors, friends, and everyone will remember the merits of the deceased: <How beautiful is what happens ... filled the heart of  Khonsu in Thebes to the point that West has achieved poems accompanied generations of servers.>

Now the funeral procession looks like a move, some servants carrying flowers and candy, jars of pottery, stone vases, figurines, boxes, another group of servants are responsible for the most common furniture such as seats, beds, chests and cabinets, carro. Apart from personal belongings, canopic jars, canes, scepters, statues and trusted group carries jewelry, necklaces, hawks or vultures with outspread wings, birds with human head.every thing  passes before the eyes of many curious attendees

The sacófagose placed in a coffin pulled by a couple of cows and some men, what was wooden panels mohel or a structure from which hung curtains of embroidered fabric and all is introduced in a boat flanked by statues of the goddess Isis and the goddess Nephtis, which in turn was pulled by a sled

Once you've chosen your destination and bought your  ticket, you should know what are the entry requirements of their country has been chosen, such as visas and vaccinations. Read on any custom or special events that may arise during your stay abroad. Also be aware of the laws that are strictly enforced, such as waste laws and the laws of decency, as some clothing, a swimsuit may be considered too revealing.
