View from the hills looking eastwards across the plain of Thebes, with excavated buildings in the foreground: '...Keeping on the high ground among the tombs, you come to the Ptolemaic temple called Dayr el Medineh...From the high ground behind this temple, and looking directly east, you have the view of Thebes exhibited in this photograph. In the extreme distance are the mountains of the desert between the Red Sea and the Nile...The dark tint below the mountains to the edge of the desert, on this side of the river, shows the extent of the inundation...That little square projection in the dark tint just over the Memnonium, is the propylon of the temple of Karnak, exactly three miles from the spot on which this view is taken.
Stereoscopic pair.
