XINHUA PHOTOS OF THE DAY

(240419) -- BEIJING, April 19, 2024 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken on April 8, 2024 shows mural paintings at the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, Egypt. Luxor, the ancient city of Thebes in southern Egypt, was the pharaohs' capital at the height of their power during the New Kingdom from the 16th century BC to the 11th century BC. Seen by many as the world's largest open-air museum, it is home to famous Tutankhamen's tomb in the Valley of the Kings and the ruins of the huge Karnak Temple Complex and Luxor Temple. The Yin Ruins, which is located in Anyang of central China's Henan Province, is the first documented late Shang Dynasty (1600-1046 B.C.) capital site in China, as confirmed by archaeological excavations and oracle bone inscriptions. Luxor and the Yin Ruins have, respectively, witnessed the historic highlights of the development of Egypt and China, the two ancient civilizations. April 18 marks the International Day for Monuments and Sites. It is a sound occasion to explore the trace of past glor
