Egypt begins restoration of Ramesseum Temple in Luxor

Egypt has started a restoration project for the Ramesseum Temple in Luxor, which was largely destroyed by an earthquake in 27 BCE. The initiative aims to revive and preserve the temple, built by King Ramses II for the worship of the god Amun-Ra. The project includes dismantling, restoring, and reassembling the stones of the temple's first pylon, as well as analyzing inscriptions and comparing them with other temples. The restoration will open new tourist attractions in Luxor Governorate.
