Horus, with falcon head, detail from relief of Horus and Thoth blessing Hatshepsut (removed with chisel), with vases and ankhs, relief, in the annex room to the barque shrine, in the Precinct of Amun-Re, at the Karnak Temple Complex, Karnak, Thebes, Luxor, Egypt. The image of Hatshepsut has been removed by chiselling in the time of Tuthmosis III. The site was developed c. 2055 BC - 100 AD, from the Middle Kingdom to the Ptolemaic Kingdom and most of the buildings date to the New Kingdom, dedicated to the Theban Triad of Amun, Mut and Khonsu. Thebes is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
