Egypt > Abydos & Dendara (3 files)

Images of two important sites north of Luxor near the River Nile but usually visted as an extra tour either by road or a day cruise.
Dendara Room Reliefs eg075589jhp Dendara Temple chapel carvings ancient Egyptian djed sacred serpent , north of Luxor survives as one of the finest examples of the Late Period and the main buildings visited today date from fourth century BC in to the Roman period. It has a notable rare representation of the famous Cleopatra, some beautiful carvings and is relatively unscathed by the ravages of time, desecration and being dismantled for building materials. This photo is of wall reliefs in one of the small chapels surrounding the inner Sanctuary and is probably the one designated that of the Sacred Serpent, Son of Earth or Harsomtus Keywords: Egypt, Egyptian, Dendara, Dendera, Temple, landscape, chapel, sacred, serpent, Harsomtus, son, earth, djed, sanctuary, history, archaeology, ancient, Egyptology, reliefs, painted, carving, decoration
Abydos Ramesses 11 Temple Offering 5450EG07JHP Small Temple Ramesses Abydos Osiris interior wall coloured painting photograph is a 10 minute walk to the NW of the main Sety 1 Temple at Abydos and although much smaller and completely uncovered, it is worth the walk and effort to see it for there are many high quality colorful painted reliefs which are easily accessible and a joy to behold. Probably covered as late as the Napoleonic exploration means the sun and exposure to the elements has not had long enough to destroy the colours completely something that will eventually happen. In this scene the King stands before Osiris watched by a humanoid djed pillar, a very rare and unusual scene.

Egypt > Egyptian Museum Cairo (1 file)

Royalty Free photos of exhibits from the Cairo Egyptian Museum taken before current bans with slide film in available light not to studio quality
Tut Burial Chamber EG117EJHP Egyptian Museum Tut Exhibit Burial Chamber Shrine outer Tutankhamun tomb at Luxor. In the prime antiquities collection in Cairo taken during visits between 1994 and 1996 when photography was allowed albeit without flash and tripod. None is of studio quality, being handheld with existing, usually extremely poor light and using slide film, pushed Fuji 400asa to get a suitable aperture and shutter speed. Most of the photos are from the Tutankahum exhibits while the rest are items that interested me as I explored this wonderful and extensive collection, requiring many more hours if not days and is only hinted at during the usual one or two hour visit made on a package tour.
