An Egyptian Temple (In Spain)

Shout-out to Choclo, who positively loves Ancient Egypt

The other day, we went for a walk in Madrid.  A long walk.  By long, I mean from ten-thirty in the morning to eight (I might add that we were visiting some cousins of our cousins somewhere in between, and we watched The Disney Channel for at  least two hours [it felt like more; Mxyl and I abstained for the most part] and had lunch there, which was another hour at least [the aforementioned cousins came with us on our walk, as well as their parents, who are super nice; thank you!]).

We went to several places, but a definite favorite was an Egyptian temple  No, really.  It was a real live Egyptian temple.  As in, from Egypt.  as in, delivered to Spain as a thank you for helping with a recovery from a war (I think).  Delivered brick by brick to be assembled at its destination.  Visitors were allowed inside, but sadly we saw it outside visiting hours.  however, we did take pictures of the outside:
