reliefs in the Luxor Temple

reliefs in the Luxor Temple
Wall reliefs from the period of Amenhotep III
(r. ca. 1391-1353 BC)
plastered over during Roman times with colorful images of roman officials and Copts looking to the now lost image of the Emperor.
This room was initially intended to the cult of the king Amenhotep III and continued its role during the Roman occupation but to the worship of the Roman Emperor.
