LUXOR, Egypt, Feb. 1 (Xinhua) A Chinese-Egyptian archeological mission has breathed life into the once-abandoned Montu Temple in the Karnak Temple Complex of Egypt s monument-rich city of Luxor, said an official with Egypt s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.
Mustafa al-Saghir, director-general of Karnak Temple Complex Antiquities, told Xinhua in a recent interview that although the joint Egyptian-Chinese mission has been working for two seasons only, it has achieved very significant results at the temple.
The mission is doing excavations through which the architectural elements of the temple are being revealed, he said.
