Non-invasive technology to record carvings and inscriptions continues to advance. What she's doing now is quite crude optically but she's making the most of it at the computer end of things. So it'll all have to be repeated later if the money can be found. Unfortunately the structure will not remain intact. Paint has survived 3000 years and more in sealed underground tombs, not so much in buildings. These temples were buried under the sand for thousands of years before they were excavated in the 19th century. Now they are exposed to wind-blown sand, day-time heat and night-time cold. The other hazard is religion. When beliefs change, the old stories are suppressed and monuments are defaced. This happened after Akhnaten, and again when the Egyptians were converted to Christianity. The Iconoclasts and Protestants did that in Europe, and the Taliban and ISIS are no lovers of ancient history.

Its called the Rasmussen government, after Ahkenatun heresy the Rasmussen government was formed, because to ensure the Heresy would not return and to ensure no pharaohs have power to override the priesthood of Karnak of Amon. The Rasmussen government stayed in control till Ramese XI however if you check and read other matters at this time you will notice that people of egypt were very upset with the state of the economy, food supplys and trade, this is why Ramesse II underwent to assassination attempts near the last 15yrs of his kingship. There are many scripts and monumental building and statues of Ramesse II and... Ramesse II is the only pharaoh to erect 1000s of status in his image alone and the only pharaoh to have the name Ramesse II all over upper and lower egypt, simply because they were all Rasmussen government commissioned items. But the current Egyptian foreign invaders occupation of egypt and its Muslim rulers today dont want you to know this as it goes against thier fake doctrine of Egyptian history, they wont admit when the Muslims invaded egypt 600AD they were the ones who infact robbed all the tombs and stole most.of egypts treasures. This is why they always insist no... it was the tomb raiders of egypt, such as a sealed great pyramids of egypt that has no entrance or doors or windows!

[@KasumiRINA]

@@itsmybike1078 most tombs were robbed WAY before Islam, or even Jesus. Great Pyramids were robbed in the first intermediate period, which was almost a thousand years BEFORE RAMESSES 2nd. Who came after second period Egypt was conquered by foreigners. Later tombs, of course, were robbed later, but by not much after they were built. In fact by the time Muslims arrived in Egypt, it was already under Romans for 600 years, and before that, colonized by Macedonians, which, in turn, chased Persians away. Yes, Arabs did mistreat a lot of ancient artifacts like using dynamite in archaeology, but so did French, Germans and British. FURTHERMORE, like them or not, current Egyptian rulers are... Egyptians, and elected by Egyptian people after TWO revolutions. Sisi might be corrupt but his cabinet aren't foreign invaders by any stretch of imagination. And yes, 90% of Egyptian locals DNA is just that, native North African. Anywhere from 5-10 are foreign, which is as much as it was during Cleopatra's reign, for example.

This was a frequent occurrence in later dynasties. They were not just re-carving but also taking down old temples, stones and statues to use for building elsewhere - cheaper that quarrying anew.

@@MrBcuzbcuz depending on the region State side I have all my life 30 years or so, been a original republican nowadays a moderate. They have twisted and turned more than an old oxbow in a river. Though that was the region or territory of the original division of the whig party. The northern whigs divided separated from the southern whigs the dawning of the real republican party a antislavery proeducation and fiscally conservative party in just. Even read Eisenhower's platform. I just recently found out about the dixiecrats I missed it in history, now I know they are alive and doing very well and even are more dangerous now then the time of the split. The Nebraska Kansas California act. I think words maybe wrong... So this month 2020 I have changed parties. We have republicans who don't want anything but chaos. So knowone knows whats going on how they are draining the poor and middle-class. Taking jobs from qualified individuals. Alot are just spoiled rich brats who don't want to pay for there insurance.

If there are 148 columns, it could be of benefit to construct some kind of enclosure that could move up and down the column like the construction used when moulding a concrete chimney, and then light and shadow aso.

@Patricia Palmer The Elgin Marbles were purchased from the Turks, just before said Turks fed them into a stonecrusher to make road base. The Turks ruled much of Ancient Greece at that time & had no respect for Greece's past. ln fact, being muslims, they considered statues, bearing a human likeness to be an abomination. Lord Elgin PAID for those statues. lf the Greeks want them back, they should refund his money.
