Temple Art

 

_DSC6537

The colors of the art in the temple are amazing when you consider that they are three to four thousand years old.  The really vivid ones in the Valley of the Kings can’t be photographed, but there are two or three thousand Bedouins standing around begging to sell you a picture postcard.  Some of them look like they were painted yesterday. The style is constrained by the fact that there are really writing and words tend to lose their meaning when the letters get changed.
