Luxor Pharaoh Tuthmosis 111 EG9620916JHP Egypt Museum Luxor Library Photos Egyptian King Pharaoh Thuthmosis Statue was taken inside this modern building on the waterfront of the River Nile with its fascinating collection covering the extensive history of ancient Egypt including items from the Tomb of Tutankahum. This particular exhibit of green graywacke was found in the Cachette at Karnak north of Pylon V11 in 1904, ranking as one of the masterpieces of ancient Egyptian craftsmanship and is in the museum proper and was taken in 1996 when you could pay to take photographs but not use a tripod, now not allowed at all, and I used Kodak 5042 Tungsten Slide film which still meant hand holding was at the extremes of useful photography in low light conditions.
