LightWorker™ Luxor Temple Empowerment
LW Luxor Temple Empowerment is an empowerment in a series of Egyptian Power Place
Empowerments. This series of empowerments was originally inspired by Nan Fahey in the main
Power Place series. Because of the numbers of power places in Egypt, we have taken the
Egyptian series out of the main power place series. The Egyptian series are all inspired by the
two travels in Egypt I have made with my wife Charmaine. The first one was a trip to Hurgada,
where we visited Cairo and the Giza area two days and had two days around Luxor as well. The
second trip we took a Nile cruise and had the second week around Luxor. So the only place we
did not go - were to the Saqqara pyramid. Re-channeller in this one is Andrea “Aridanne”
Fetsko, who you can also meet in the Energiewerk Yahoo group.
You can use the empowerments just to be one with those energies, but you can also “be” on that
“Power Place” when you receive attunements or you send attunements to others. The energy is
also great for meditations, where you can “be” in that “Power Place” as well. There are until now
only the following planned, but I am sure, that more will come from other teachers ….

Luxor [Ipet-het] Temple - ¶Û~R
Welcome to the old Kemetan town of Waset, which the Copts later called Tapé, which again
became Thebes in Greek. It was for many years the capitol of Kemet and often just called “Nuit”
- town. Its modern name is Luxor, which derives from the Arabic 'Al-uqsur', which is the plural
of el-qasr meaning fortification. And that again came from the Roman word 'castra', because the
Romans maintained two camps inside Waset's walls.

Many festivals were celebrated in Thebes. The Temple of

Luxor was the center of the most important one, the
festival of Opet. Built largely by Amenhotep III and
Ramesses II, it appears that the temple's purpose was for
a suitable setting for the rituals of the festival. The
festival itself was to reconcile the human aspect of the
ruler with the divine office. During the 18th Dynasty the
festival lasted eleven days, but had grown to twenty-
seven days by the reign of Ramesses III in the 20th
Dynasty. At that time the festival included the
distribution of over 11.000 loaves of bread, 85 cakes and
385 jars of beer.

The procession of images of the current royal family began at the Karnak temples and ended at the temple
of Luxor. By the late 18th Dynasty the journey was being made by barge, on the Nile River. Each Netjer
or Netjeret was carried in a separate barge that was towed by smaller boats. Large crowds consisting of
soldiers, dancers, musicians and high ranking officials accompanied the barge by walking along the banks
of the river. During the festival the people were allowed to ask favours of the statues of the kings or to the
images of the Netjeru that were on the barges. Once at the temple, the king and his priests entered the
back chambers. There, the king and his ka (the divine essence of each king, created at his birth) were
merged, the king being transformed into a divine being. The crowd outside, anxiously awaiting the
transformed king, would cheer wildly at his re-emergence. This solidified the ritual and made the king a
god. The festival was the backbone of the pharaoh's government. In this way could a usurper or one not of
the same bloodline become ruler over Kemet.

Map of the Luxor Temple

We enter the temple through an entranceway flanked
by sphinxes with ram heads like the ones leading to the
Karnak Temple. The entranceway was build by king
Nektanebo.

We pass through the pylons of Ramesses II to the

Court of Ramesses II. Her we have the Abu al-Hahhag
mosque on our left hand side. Ramesses means "loved
by Ra".

Through a colonnade we come to the beautiful court of

Amenhotep II. Amenhotep means "peace of Amun".

Through the hypostyle hall we come to the temples for

the "Triad of Waset" - Amon, his wife Mut and the son
Khonsu.

Ine the back of the temple was the barque of Amun

used in the procession and the naos.
History of the Temple
Construction work on the temple began during the reign of Amenhotep
III in the 14th century BC. The Temple run close and parallel to the
river Nile from north to south. It was constructed on the site of a small
Temple of Amon, built by kings of the 12th dynasty. At the time of
Amenhotep III the Temple was only 190m in length and 55m in width.
Basically, Luxor Temple was consecrated to Amon in his fertility
aspect (Min).

Horemheb and Tutankhamun added columns,

statues, and friezes – and Akhenaten had earlier
obliterated his father's cartouches and installed a
shrine to the Aten – but the only major expansion
effort took place under Ramesses II some 100
years after the first stones were put in place.
Ramses II, with the help of his architect Pak-in
Khonso, added the front part and completed the
Temple. He also added the present large forecourt,
and a Pylon at the (northern) front of the Temple.
Luxor is thus unique among the main Egyptian
temple complexes in having only two pharaohs
leave their mark on its architectural structure.
Kings Merenpetah, Seti I, Ramses III, Ramses IV
and Ramses VI built many more small additions.

The temple fell into disrepair during the Late Period and Alexander the Great claims to have undertaken
major reconstruction work "to restore it to the glory of Amenhotep's times" in the 320s BC. Among other
things Alexander the Great rebuilt the Sanctuary. During Rome's domination of Egypt it was converted
into a centre for the imperial cult. During the Christian era, the inner section was converted to a church.
By the time of the Arab conquest, the temple was largely buried underneath accumulated river silt, to the
extent that the Mosque of Abu Haggag was built on top of it in the 13th century (much reworked since,
but one of the minarets dates back to the original construction).

The first Pylon

The temple proper begins with the 24 metre (79 ft)
high First Pylon, built by Ramesses II. On the face of
the great pylon are carved episodes from the Battle of
Kadesh, when Ramesses II and his army defeated the
forces of the Hittites and their allies; later pharaohs,
particularly those of the Nubian and Ethiopian
dynasties, also recorded their victories there. The
main entrance to the temple complex was originally
flanked by six colossal statues of Ramesses the Great
– four seated, and two standing – but only two (both
seated) have survived. Modern visitors can also see a
25 metre (82 ft) tall pink granite obelisk. The obelisk
is one of a red granite pair which Ramesses erected in
front of the pylon; its twin now stands on Place de la Concorde, Paris, France, since 1835. On the pedestal
are carved the four sacred baboons, who were the first to greet the morning sun.

Three lines of vertical inscription on every face of the obelisk repeat the names and titles of Ramesses II
the Great:
 • Horus, Mighty Bull, Exalter of Thebes, Favorite of the Two Goddesses, establishing monuments
in Luxor for his father Amun, who placed him upon the throne;
• Golden Horus, seeking excellent things for him who fashioned him;
• King of Upper and Lower Egypt, Usermare, Chosen of Re."

It is of interest to note that when the one obelisk was lowered, in order to be transported to France,
Ramesses name was also found inscribed on the bottom. Pharaohs were notorious for usurping other
pharaoh's monuments and Ramesses was determined that this was to remain his own. The pyramidal tip
of the tall shaft was covered in sheet gold which flashed in the sunlight, symbolizing Ra in his brilliance.
Colossal seated statues of Ramesses II flank the gateway.

The Court of Ramesses II

Through the pylon gateway leads into a peristyle courtyard, also built
by Ramesses II. This area, and the pylon, was built at an oblique angle to
the rest of the temple, presumably to accommodate the three pre-existing
barque shrines located in the northwest corner. It is atop the columns of
this courtyard that the Abu Haggag mosque was built: on the eastern
side, a doorway leads surrealistically out into thin air some 8 metres
(26 ft) above the ground. (As the mosque was built, the whole area was
covered by silt from the Nile).

After the peristyle courtyard comes the processional colonnade built by

Amenhotep III – a 100 metre (328 ft) corridor lined by 14 papyrus-
capital columns. Friezes on the wall describe the stages in the Opet
Festival, from sacrifices at Karnak at the top left, through Ammon's
arrival at Luxor at the end of that wall, and concluding with his return on
the opposite side. The decorations were put in place by Tutankhamun:
the boy pharaoh is depicted, but his names have been replaced with
those of Horemheb.

The Colonnade
After the peristyle courtyard comes the processional colonnade built by Amenhotep III – a 100 metre
(328 ft) corridor lined by 14 papyrus-capital columns. Friezes on the wall describe the stages in the Opet
Festival, from sacrifices at Karnak at the top left, through Ammon's arrival at Luxor at the end of that
wall, and concluding with his return on the opposite side. The decorations were put in place by
Tutankhamun: the boy pharaoh is depicted, but his names have been replaced with those of Horemheb.

In the entrance to the Colonnade are two statues bearing the name of Ramesses II but the feathers of
Tutankhamen. What is left of the walls bear wonderful reliefs of Tutankhamun reign and a celebration of
the re-establishment of the Amun orthodoxy.

The Court of Amenhotep II

The Court
Beyond the colonnade is a peristyle courtyard, which
also dates back to Amenhotep's original construction.
The east and west side of the court has well
preserved double rows of papyrus columns with bud
capitals, though originally the columns were on the
north side as well. The best preserved columns are on
the eastern side, where some traces of original colour
can be seen.
The southern side of this courtyard is made up of a 32-column hypostyle court that leads into the inner
sanctums of the temple. The Hypostyle Hall, on the south side, had four rows of eight columns. Reliefs
are on both side of the south wall depicting the coronation of Amenhotep II by the Netjeru. A roman altar,
dedicated to Constantine, is located to the left of the central aisle.

The Antechambers
The reliefs of Amenhotep II were whitewashed and painted over in the 3rd or 4th
century. The stucco is crumbling, and just recently, beginning to show the reliefs
underneath. The second antechamber has four columns (versus eight in the first
antechamber) and reliefs of Amenhotep II offering incense to Amun. Of
particular interest here are the Roman stuccoes than can still be seen atop the
Egyptian carvings below; in Roman times this area served as a chapel, where
local Christians were offered a final opportunity to renounce their faith and
embrace the state religion.

Sanctuary of the Sacred Boat of Amun

The chapel inside the chamber was rebuilt by Alexander the Great and bears his reliefs, while the
chamber walls bear the reliefs of Amenhotep II. Moving further in stands a Barque Shrine for use by
Amun, built by Alexander, with the final area being the private quarters of the gods and the Birth Shrine
of Amenhotep III, which was built because of Amenhotep II's claim that he was the son of Amun. (His
divine origin is depicted in precise, almost touching detail on the walls). A small hall is to the east which
opens onto the Birth Room, Amenhotep II claimed that Amun disguised himself as Tuthmosis IV, entered
the queen's chambers and breathed the child into her nostrils.
