Mexican and Egyptian archaeologists working to restore ancient Egyptian temples: Restoration teams from Mexico are working with Egyptian specialists to preserve national heritage in Luxor as part of a mission aided by specialists in conservation, archeology, architecture, documentation, and photography. This picture shows Egyptian restoration inspector Fatma Khairee and Mexican restorer Luis Armando Canada working together on a Mural at the Thebes Tomb 39. This tomb was a burial complex in honor to Pumire, a High Priest of Amun who worked under the Queen Hatshepsut and Thutmose III command during Dynasty XVIII. The collaboration involves the first Mexican restoration mission in Egypt, which began in 2005, led by Gabriela Arrache, Director of the Mexican Society of Egyptology. H/t Adrian R.
