Stunning photos of the restored ceiling and columns of the Temple of Khnum in Esna, Upper #Egypt. During a multi-year restoration project, the dirt and soot that had obscured the colors of the reliefs and inscriptions within the building for approximately 2000 years were carefully removed.
The temple is located 60 kilometers south of Luxor, Egypt.

Interior view of the temple showing massive stone columns with detailed carvings and colorful hieroglyphs. The columns are shaped like lotus or papyrus plants and are closely spaced, supporting a decorated ceiling. Two people stand near the base of the columns, providing scale. The ground is covered in gravel, and scaffolding or railings are visible in the foreground.
