This is really special...the Red Monastery. I love the range of heritage sites the Ministry of Antiquities chose to image and feature. What a huge treat for me and the world. https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=Yyw1F5eGxxZ&mls=1
Tomb of Queen Meresankh III at Giza, honestly such a special place for me personally. https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=d42fuVA21To
Now south to Middle Egypt (where I did half my PhD), the extraordinary tombs of the Middle Kingdom at Beni Hassan (I am biased towards the Middle Kingdom) https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=QaGBAsT6yg4&mls=1
And...we'll finish in Luxor, on the West Bank. Tomb of Mena https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=vLYoS66CWpk
And one of my favorite tombs, Ramesses VI, truly stunning and amazing depictions of wild gods and goddesses https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=NeiMEZa9d93&mls=1
I'll keep posting to this thread as the Ministry of Antiquities adds new tours. How lucky are we that they are being so generous with sharing Egypt's heritage with the world? The colors, lighting, mood...all perfect. Brilliant photography. Makes me miss Egypt a little less.
