There are four statues  inside the temple: those of Ramses, Ra, Amun, and Ptah. The sunlight shines on all of them except Ptah. He is always in the dark.

Hawawshi

Egyptian food is very delicious. My favorite recipe is hawawshi. It is made with bread and beef or lamb. First, we cook the meat with onions, herbs and spices. Then, we press the bread together around the meat and then cook it. We eat it with salad. It is very delicious. I love eating hawawshi.
