Rameseum
One dollar, one tree, one planet.

Rameseum

by Günther Eichhorn
The Rameseum is a sizeable temple complex on the west side of the Nile near Luxor. I did not get to visit it. I saw it from the air during my Hot Air Ballon ride. The two huge statues that are near the Rameseum are called the Colossi of Mnemon.
