In celebration of Luxor Egyptology's new website, here are a couple of photographs from around Luxor itself:
From the Mortuary Temple of Merenptah, West Bank
Sekhmet at the Luxor Museum (for Kat!)
The Tomb of Ay, Valley of the Kings

Thank you for the photo of Sekhmet! Recently I noticed that often, these statues' whiskers are carved in a daisy-petal pattern. The same whisker pattern is on Amenhotep III's Soleb lions. I wonder if this is peculiar to his reign, or a particular master craftsman or workshop?
This blog was set up in 2004 to aggregate news about Egyptology and related topics from online sources on a regular basis. It was closed finally in September 2013 due to other commitments. It has been left open as an archive, but comments have been disabled.
Kindest regards to all Andie andie {at} oddthing.co.uk
