Luxor, Egypt
The amount of written and drawn history in Egypt is astounding! My favorite place so far has been Abu Simbel (280 km south of Aswan). The location right on a lake is very beautiful. The memorial to Ramses II is huge, and to realize it as moved from another location is astounding. It has extensive chambers and statues inside it, so it was like moving and re-assembling a mountain with something the size of the Lincoln Memorial inside of it.
