BRI Stories | Ancient temple excavation gains progress by joint Egyptian-Chinese archaeological mission

(240529) -- LUXOR, May 29, 2024 Photo by Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM) -- This photo taken on April 29, 2024 shows stones carved with patterns at the excavation site of the Montu Temple in Luxor, Egypt. 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.
