I took the route from Luxor Temple to Karnak and this is what I found.
The above two photos shows a lot of activity around a particular dig in front of the Emilio Hotel. I believe they were all waiting to see a new sphinx appear, but not why I was there. I’ll have another look tomorrow.
There is a huge workforce now working along the sphinxes towards Karnak. So many trucks taking the soil away.
The white Christian church top right is still standing. There has been a lot of controversial concerning it. The church has been fighting against its doomed destruction and is on going. But apparently someone in Luxor government has not been very sensitive and has said or done something in a negative manner. It was this church that I took the photo of the Christmas tree.
You can see here that the Avenue meets with The Precinct of Mut to the right. At the top left corner is the Temple of Karnak. I have no doubt that all will go towards the Temple. As I have shown in earlier Snippets, there are sphinxes just under the tees (top left) and only the bodies are at street level.
