Archaeologists Uncover Long-Hidden Details in Ancient Egyptian Temple Art

Restoration efforts at the Temple of Esna, an ancient Egyptian site located over 30 miles south of Luxor, are uncovering vibrant, previously hidden details in its decorations.

Collaborating with the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, experts from the Institute of Ancient Near Eastern Studies (IANES) have been working to reveal the temple’s original colors and inscriptions, which had been obscured by soot from fires lit by locals over centuries.

Originally built during the Greco-Roman period, the temple features a large vestibule known for its intricate carvings and sophisticated hieroglyphics.

Key discoveries include one of the most complete polychrome layouts of the time, previously unknown inscriptions detailing ancient Egyptian constellations and all twelve zodiac signs, and painted details of royal clothing and deities, Newsweek has reported.
