Archaeologists Find Spectacular Frescoes in Ancient Egyptian Temple archaeology science
The ancient temple at Esna, Egypt: the flying vultures on the central section of the ceiling, with the northern crossbeam behind. Image credit: Ahmed Emam / MoTA., dedicated to the Egyptian deity Khnum, is one of the last examples of ancient Egyptian temple architecture.
The roof is supported by 18 columns with wonderfully varied floral capitals in the form of palm leaves, lotus buds and papyrus fans; some also have bunches of grapes, a distinctive Roman touch.“The relief images in the central section of the ceiling make up a total of 46 depictions of the Upper-Egyptian vulture goddess Nekhbet and the Lower-Egyptian serpent goddess Wadjet,” said Professor Christian Leitz, a researcher at the University of Tübingen.
“The glory of the color used in the depictions of the ‘Two Ladies,’ Nekhbet and Wadjet, which has now been revealed was previously unknown to experts.”
