http://www.algomhuria.net.eg/gazette/1/
"An Egyptian-American archaeological team has unearthed a limestone tablet with coloured images near the wall of the Temple of Mot in Luxor, Minister of Culture Farouq Hosni said yesterday. The 100 x 45 centimetre tablet shows the images of five gods in the form of children sitting on a lotus flower, General Supervisor for Luxor Antiquities, Mansour Breik, said. "In front of the gods is an altar with offerings. The gods Hapi and Tawert stand beside the altar," Breik added. The Mot Temple, near the Karnak and Amoun temples, was built by Amenhotep III during the XVIIIth dynasty (1552-1295)."
