The Luxor area of Upper Egypt was the Thebes (Waset) of the ancient Egyptians - the capital of Egypt during the Middle and New Kingdoms - the city of a hundred gates. It was the capital of Egypt from the 12th dynasty (1991 B.C.) and reached its summit during the New Kingdom. During the time period the mud brick palaces of Thebes have disappeared but the stone built temples have survived. Ancient Thebes with its Necropolis were inscribed to UNESCO human heritage list in 1979. |
