Egypt-Archaeology

A picture taken on April 27, 2015 shows Egyptian hieroglyphs inside the tomb of Iymery, also known as the priest of king Khufu, during the reopening of the site following renovations, at the great Giza Pyramids, south of the capital Cairo. The cemeteries have been closed since 2007 due to reconstruction work, which stopped following the January 2011 political events, and only resumed six months ago.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing glimpse into the ancient world of Egypt's rich archaeological history. Taken on April 27,2015, it showcases the intricate hieroglyphs adorning the walls inside the tomb of Iymery, also known as the priest of king Khufu. Located at the great Giza Pyramids, south of Cairo, this sacred site had been closed since 2007 due to reconstruction work that was halted following the political events in January 2011. After a hiatus of six long years, restoration efforts finally resumed and led to the grand reopening depicted in this image. The photograph beautifully portrays not only the remarkable preservation of these hieroglyphs but also serves as a testament to human perseverance and dedication towards preserving our cultural heritage. The attention to detail in every stroke and symbol is awe-inspiring; each glyph tells a story from an era long gone yet still resonating with significance today. It reminds us of Egypt's glorious past and its enduring legacy that continues to captivate people from all corners of the globe. Khaled Desouki skillfully captured this momentous occasion for Agence France-Presse (AFP), allowing viewers worldwide to marvel at these ancient wonders without stepping foot inside them. This print is more than just an artistic masterpiece; it serves as a visual time capsule connecting us with our ancestors and reminding us how crucial it is to safeguard our shared human history for future generations.
