Aswan Museum Quartzite Statue EG052942JHP Aswan Egyptian Nubian Museum quartzite statue of Horemakhet High Priest of Amun at Thebes and son of the Nubian Pharoah Shabaka around 700BC and an exhibit in a modern air-conditioned building whose foundations were laid in 1986, opened in 1997 and organised through UNESCO. Very low artificial light makes general photography difficult as well as affecting accurate colour balance. This now appears to be the only museum in Egypt where photography is still allowed although it is not easy as the ambient lighting is extremely subdued for conservation reasons.
