Sen-Neghem Tomb
Of course, anyone who sees this picture will think that it is a decoration for a historical series or a picture made with Photoshop or a painting by an artist drawn a few days ago
But the truth is that this picture is real and on the ground and this is a picture of a pharaonic tomb that its owner made more than 3000 years ago
Sen-Neghem Tomb located in Deir el-Medina in Luxor, one of the most beautiful tombs you can see and still retains its bright colors as if it was made yesterday
Sen-Neghem was the head of workers in the era of the 19th Dynasty and built this tomb for himself and his family, meaning the work of the master for his son, so it came out with this genius and magnificence
Of course, as usual, no one has discovered the secret behind the stability of these colors for thousands of years so that the genius of the ancient Egyptians continues to amaze us and make us lost in a sea of their mysteries
This tomb was discovered by a Bedouin by chance in 1886 and he found it intact With all its treasures and contents, it was not stolen by thieves as was the custom with the tombs of the pharaohs. It was reported to the archaeologist Gaston Maspero, who examined its contents. Unfortunately, its contents were transferred to England and are now on display in the British Museum.
