Ancient Egypt Rises Again as Water Recedes

At the 3,300-year-old Karnak Temple, dedicated to the ancient Egyptian god Amun, USAID-funded archeologists from the American Research Center in Egypt and Chicago House inspect and preserve a recently-discovered room. The room has yet to be seen by tourists and retains much of its original colors and ancient etchings.

LUXOR, Egypt—The matching Indiana Jones fedoras on two leading archeologists as they entered the ancient Temple Rameses III of Medinet Habu were necessary shields for working in the 104-degree Egyptian desert in October.

Egyptian excavators emerged from among ancient pillars to greet Egyptologists Raymond Johnson, director of the Epigraphic Survey based at Chicago House in Luxor, and Gerry Scott, director of the American Research Center in Egypt, who are working to save their national history.

Medinet Habu lies miles away from the more famous Luxor and Karnak Temples but, unlike these two World Heritage Sites on the Nile’s East Bank where a USAID-funded dewatering project has slowed the rate of deterioration, the West Bank temple continues to decay due to groundwater intrusion. Building structures become porous and cracked by rising groundwater levels. The wall surfaces where hieroglyphics and drawings are etched have begun falling away.

“The surface is sloughed off the stone, like skin,” Johnson said.

Though some buildings have stood since 2000 B.C., neighboring sugarcane irrigation has caused water levels to rise and bring salt into the base of the ancient buildings, Johnson said. When the water recedes,

ANCIENT EGYPTS TEMPLES

Ancient Egyptian Temples, spiritual centers for a people of unknown, but widely speculated, orgin. These temples and the exquisitely crafted statues, hieroglyphs, wall painting and column carvings are rich symbolism that we have yet to fully understand. It appears that even the process of crafting the exceptional statues of bronze, copper, silver and gold was part of an initiated life in the mysterious and wonderful culture. The reliefs carved into stone walls and pillars, each hieroglyph, its placement, indeed the placement of each object in its respective temple was meant as a combined story of consciousness; attaining to its higher aspects. Today, in our modern culture, we are not concerned about the call back to divinity as were these ancient egyptians. In the book Gifts for the Gods: Images from Ancient Egyptian Temples one can see the amazing workmanship and detail of splendor depicting in the craftmanship the spiritual nature of the ancient Egyptians. This was a culture enlivened by the infinite nature of life and existence, in this realm and beyond.

All energy and intention was toward that aim. Yet today many a shallow thinker have thought these objects the result of tyrant kings/pharaohs whose only desire was to wallow in splendor rather than be not only concerned but driven to find their way back to divinity
in one lifetime rather than many. Although we can never reconstruct all the various pieces
back into their whole story and symbolism we can gain respect and awe for these highly
evolved people. We can heed the call to our own divine path back to our Source. Ancient Egypts Pyramids and Ancient Egypts Temples still call out to the world. Each book such as Gifts for the Gods: Images from Ancient Egyptian Temples beckons us not only to the land but to the call as well.
