Luxor, The ancient city stood on both sides of the Nile, and few spots in Egypt, are so ideally suited to such a purpose. The range of hills to the east and west curve away from the river’s bank leaving broad plains on either side. Here marvelous monuments were raised in honor of Amon-Ra. Luxor, which developed into the great Capital of the Egyptian empire, had no particular importance during the first thousand years of Egypt’s ancient History. When Narmer moved northwards to unit the two lands and establish Memphis as capital; in the Early Dynastic Period when the kings constructed their cenotaphs at Abydos; during the Great Pyramid Age when granite was quarried from Aswan in the south and transported to the Necropolis of Giza to the north- throughout all these long centuries Luxor was no different from the chief cities of other provinces.
