Luxor: the Ancient Egyptian holy site still used every day

Описание: Luxor Temple is the world's largest open-air museum, but it's so much more than a destination for tourists and Egyptologists. It's the spiritual and physical heart of its community.

At the recent festival celebrating the opening of the Avenue of Sphinxes, the whole world caught a glimpse of one fascinating aspect of its ongoing importance in Egyptian religious life. I talk about why that is, and why the Luxor temple is the oldest site in the whole world that's still in use by ordinary people.

Look out for a new Armchair Egyptology video every Wednesday.
