March 28 Tombs

This gives you an idea of the extent to which the interiors of tombs, temples and monuments were decorated by the pharaohs. In this example, the colours have been washed away, either by Nile floods or by humidity from the breath of toourists and grave robbers for the last 4500 years! The temples created by Ramses II in Abu Simbel still maintain their colours. However, you won't see it on our blog because for the past couple of years, NO photos allowed in temples, tombs, monuments nor museums controlled by the Egyption government. Joe
