All of earth is crammed with heaven And every bush aflame with God But only those who see take off their shoes. - Elizabeth Barrett Browning<p>

These are so interesting Paul, the outside is so beautiful and it's such a strange idea that there are actually mummies in there:) wonderful capture !!
Terrific lighting. I'm glad they let you take photos. They allowed it in the British Museum which quite pleased me. Many museums won't let you take photos.
Paul, I want to thank you for your amazing pictures. They carry me to places where I can only dream of going. This one is so real, I feel like I'm right there looking at the wonder of it. Excellent presentation.
Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

You really captured this effectivly. It seems to glow gold ever so slightly. What a great photo to bring us back to a piece of a bygone era. Stunning...................Amaris
I wish I knew more about Egyptian art history...that face is surprisingly realistic compared to some periods where the people were depicted in a stylized (and symbolic) way. I know there was a wave of realism during the reign of Akhenaten, which would have been close to the time of the Exodus of Jews from Egypt...so I wondered if this came from that time period.
Fantastic image. To sad, I missed it before. Will put you into my friends-list, so this will not happen anymore. I love that agypten culture, but do not feel to travel there yet, so it is great to see your picture.
How big are these statues?
