Cairo Museum

The Cairo Museum houses a tiny fraction of the ancient relics of Egypt, while millions of artifacts remain in the ground or lie rotting in warehouses. Nevertheless, this is one of the great museums of the world. I regret that I had very limited time there, and that my photos were taken on print and slide film and copied later. A new, modern museum is scheduled to open soon. Photos by Gary L.

New Kingdom Egypt: Edfu, Kom Ombo, Aswan

These New Kingdom (and later) Egypt sites lie along the Nile south of Luxor/Thebes. I have separate photo albums for Cairo Museum, Old Kingdom Egypt, Abu Simbel, and for the Karnak/Luxor/King’s Valley area. Photos by Gary L.

New Kingdom Egypt: Karnak, Luxor, & Valley of Kings

Here are some ancient Egypt sites dating from the New Kingdom: Temple of Amun at Karnak, Luxor Temple, Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, and several tombs in the Valley of the Kings. I have created other albums for the Cairo Museum, Old Kingdom sites, and other New Kingdom sites. Photos by Gary L.

Abu Simbel: Temple of Rameses II

These are photos of the great Temple of Rameses II built on the southern border of Egypt during the New Kingdom. The entire temple was relocated 50 years ago to preserve it from the rising waters of Lake Nassar formed by the Aswan Dam. I have created other albums for the Cairo Museum, Old Kingdom sites, and other New Kingdom sites. Photos by Gary L.

Old Kingdom Egypt: Saqqara, Giza, Memphis

These are photos of ancient Egyptian sites dating from the 3rd & 4th Dynasties of the Old Kingdom in Saqqara, Giza, & Memphis. They were taken shortly after 9-11, which explains the delightful absence of droves of tourists. I have created separate albums for the Cairo Museum, Abu Simbel, & other New Kingdom sites.
