Abu Simbel

We heard the voices of Champollion
 one of the first to decipher hieroglyphs

 the voices of the god Amun


the pharaohs Seti I, Rameses III, Tutankhamun


and Taharka continuing the journey to the heart of the night

 Hearing about the lives of pharaohs who built 

and re-built monuments to their own memory

I truly was transported back in time
 and could almost smell the incense

 and hear the chanting of the priests
 despite the crowds and the modern lighting

Exclusive access to the site after dark

 Wander through its many chambers 

and wonder at the huge statues of Ramses
