点评:Amazing, impressive temple with crypts that holds the famous "light bulb" hieroglyphs and many other fascinating reliefs. It used to house the famous zodiac, but now it has a copy in black. The tower stairway that leads up to the zodiac is also unique. Also the ceiling paintings of Nut are worth noticing.
I would give it 5 stars, if it wasnt for the way it is really poorly managed. There are no signs to show tourists around, and they first said the temple was closing at 4, then they said 5 and in the end they closed 4.30.
We bought an extra ticket for the crypt, and the ticket seller said it would give us entrance to 3 crypts, but when we found one of the crypts, a "guard" came and followed us. According to a sign there it is not allowed to do any worship "outside of designated areas" (I never found any designated area). When we just closed our eyes for a brief moment while standing the "guard" interrupted and said it was not allowed to meditate. He seemed to want money if we were meditating. When showing us the next two crypts he would only allow us 1 minute each place, and he got angry when we did not want to give him tips. I dont mind paying tips for good service but he really disturbed our visit. Because there were no signs, it was not clear to see which crypts were included in our tickets and which were part of his scam. He went and got another guard with a machine gun who also tried to make us pay under the table to meditate in a crypt. We just wanted to see the crypts that we had tickets to and to close our eyes for a few moments to sense the energy without being disturbed, but that was impossible.
Also because there were no signs and because they could not tell the closing time beforehand, we nearly missed the whole upstairs part with the zodiac.
It would probably be better to go there with a good guide, but guides that understand and explain about the esoteric side of the temples are hard to find.
翻译:令人惊叹、令人印象深刻的寺庙,有地下室,里面有著名的“灯泡”象形文字和许多其他迷人的浮雕。它曾经放置着著名的十二生肖,但现在有一个黑色的复制品。通往黄道十二宫的塔楼楼梯也很独特。 Nut 的天花板画也值得注意。
如果不是因为管理不善,我会给它 5 颗星。周围没有任何指示牌给游客看,他们先说寺庙4点关门,然后又说5点,最后4.30关门。
我们额外买了一张地穴门票,售票员说可以进入3个地穴,但当我们找到其中一个地穴时,一个“警卫”过来跟着我们。根据那里的标志,不允许在“指定区域之外”进行任何崇拜(我从未发现任何指定区域)。当我们站着闭上眼睛片刻时,“警卫”打断了我们,并说不允许打坐。如果我们冥想的话,他似乎想要钱。当带我们参观接下来的两个墓穴时,他每个地方只允许我们一分钟,当我们不想给他小费时,他很生气。我不介意为良好的服务支付小费,但他确实打扰了我们的访问。由于没有任何迹象,我们不清楚哪些墓穴包含在我们的门票中,哪些是他的骗局的一部分。他去找了另一名拿着机枪的警卫,他也试图让我们在桌子底下付钱去地下室冥想。我们只是想看看我们有门票的墓穴,并闭上眼睛一会儿,在不被打扰的情况下感受能量,但这是不可能的。
也因为没有任何标志,而且他们无法提前告知关门时间,我们几乎错过了整个楼上的十二生肖部分。
最好有一个好的导游去那里,但是理解和解释寺庙深奥一面的导游很难找到。
