So cool but you just need laser pointer for the guards.

The priests are gone and the pharoahs are gone and the sun set on the empire centuries ago. The worshippers still come in droves. Still full of wonder, yes, but they do not keep the faith.

But we remember.

We remain.

Pyramids?

Google says the twin pillar picture is the Temple of Horus.

I don't expect pyramids to be this interesting.

Pretty much across every temple in Egypt you will find cats and even dogs. But actually not in the pyramids or the valley of the gods.

That was my experience in 2023 anyway, I also have a lot of pictures of the cats in this same temple:
