Excavating an avenue to the Temple of Karnak, Thebes, Egypt, 1905. Artist: Underwood & Underwood
Excavating an avenue to the Temple of Karnak, Thebes, Egypt, 1905. This scene furnishes us another good example of the way in which the rubbish and debris of fallen houses collect before and around and within the temples of Egypt. Look at the towers and see again the rows of holes in which the roofing timbers of such houses were supported. The rubbish all around us is the disintegrated mud-brick of their walls. Stereoscopic card. Detail. From a series called Egypt Through the Stereoscope, text by James H Breasted
