Abstract
"The remains of crumbling sphinxes line the avenue on the south, two miles in length, which is the only one left of ten which set out from this temple and led to the great temple of Luxor and to other grand objects that once stood within this extensive valley, over which the gorgeous processions of kings and priests were accustomed to march into the temple.
