Dayr El Medeenet [Deir el-Medina]. Photographer: Douglas, James
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Archaeological Photography
View looking eastwards towards the Nile from Deir el-Medina, located in the hills to the west of the Theban plain between the Ramesseum and Medinet Habou, with a temple complex and tombs (The Temple of Amun?) in the middle distance. The village was originally populated by the workmen who built the tombs in the Valley of the Kings. In the right foreground, horses stand in front of the entrance gateway to the Temple of Hathor: 'This Photograph of Dayr el Medeenet is taken from a small mound immediately behind it, and shews the neighbouring Temple of Rameses [Temple of Amun?], with its crude brick arched Tombs, and with the plain of Thebes, bounded by the Nile and the Arabian Hills, in the distance.'
