This is the tomb of Rameses III, dating from the middle of the 12th century BCE. He ruled for more than 30 years until he was assassinated by a son. Given the long reign, there was plenty of time to carve and decorate the tomb.

The paint is all original. No restoration. I find it mind boggling that such stunning art work has survived more than 3 millennia.Baca lagi
