Lovely photos from the tomb of Ramses IV, the one thing that i really enjoy about looking at Egyptian tomb paintings
is the freshness of the colour and the detail.
Thank you, David! It really is astonishing how crisp and fresh the paint is in the rare locations where it survives to this level. During my work, I took 900+ images in this tomb and I wish I’d shot 1000 more–it never fails to take my breath away.
