Amenhotep III Mortuary Temple – West Bank – Luxor
Season 2015/2016
This seasons update.
As we’ve become to expect, there is a very large workforce working on various areas of this site.
The early part of the season saw more work being done to the two newly erected colossi at the North Gate near to Merenptah Temple. Some very nice mud brick walls have gone up along with a very nice display of picture boards displaying the progress of the work done and some history.

From the two original Memnon Colossi by the car park, work is ongoing looking for the missing parts to the right arm. Restoration is in progress to re-piece together the arm. It is hoped that they will find the missing pieces and the colossi can be restored near to its original state.

There is a lot of work and progress being made on the groundwork excavating. New work and ongoing work is being made to perhaps uncover more finds at what was the original level of the site.
To be continued
