(240529) -- LUXOR, May 29, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Chinese archaeologists Wang Peng, Wen Zhen, Jia Xiaobing and Gao Wei (from L to R) pose for a group photo at the excavation site of the Montu Temple in Luxor, Egypt, April 8, 2024. The Montu Temple, located at the Karnak Temple Complex of Egypt's monument-rich city of Luxor, was dedicated to the worship of Montu, a falcon-headed war god.
Since late 2018, the first Egyptian-Chinese archaeological mission has been working seasonally at the Karnak Temple Complex, inspiring many Egyptian and Chinese experts to strengthen related cooperation. After nearly six years of joint efforts by Chinese and Egyptian archaeologists, the excavation of the once-abandoned Montu Temple, has achieved fruitful results. (Xinhua/Wang Dongzhen)
