Sabooa. Photographer: Douglas, James

-
Genre: Archaeological Photography
View looking towards the half-buried inner pylon of the Temple of Amun and Re-Horakhty at el-Sebua, with a group of children and a small stuffed crocodile in the foreground: 'At Sabooa are the remains of a temple of the time of Rameses II. It is approached by a dromos of eight Endrosphinxes, at the entrance of which stand two colossal statues of the king [seen in foreground of this photograph]. All but four of the sphinxes are covered with sand. The propyleon towers are the only part in good preservation ... We took a photograph of the towers, sphinxes and statues; and the scene was enlivened by a Bedouin, a group of children, Ramadan, and a stuffed crocodile, the latter looking fierce enough to swallow up temple and all.'
