The scattered blocks in the northeast corner of Karnak are more than just remnants of a glorious past,
they’re vital pieces of ancient Egyptian history. Many blocks, linked to the reigns of Seti I and
Ramesses II, still carry traces of colorful pigments and intricate carvings depicting religious
ceremonies and historical events. These fragments offer valuable clues to the construction
techniques and artistic evolution of the New Kingdom. However, centuries of weathering, human
activity, and environmental stress have left their mark. Preserving these blocks means preserving
knowledge, and our team is working tirelessly to document each piece, ensuring future generations
can continue studying and appreciating this extraordinary heritage. Follow our journey as we piece
together the stories of Karnak, one block at a time!
