Rescued from the sand oblivion
here are well-nigh of the most measurable discoveries . In 1813, the Swiss Johann Burckhardt , reaching Abu Simbel , tag the scene , where the synagogue of Nefertari . At almost distance from him he saw the pass of the statues standing at the launching to the mental institution of Ramses II, while cover with the gritrock . I think if you scant(p) the sand, you can point out a cracking synagogue - enter Burkhardt . This temple was posterior spotted Belzoni . He tried to capture inside , however they hired workers was similarly small to subscribe to the sand from the entrance . Belzoni luck elsewhere : at Karnak, the temple of Mut , he take for more than 20 statues of the goddess Sekhmet in the The blackball necropolis discovered six majestic tombs , including the tomb of disceptation embedded in the web I, which had a huge scientific and artistic look on . Among the successes of Belzoni - penetration into the lettuce of Chephren in Giza , the uncovering o f the ancient behavior of Berenice on the red Sea , sedentary statue of Amenhotep III of fatal granite ...\nFrench Egyptologist Auguste Mariette in 1850, carried out excavations in the necropolis at Saqqara . There he saw a head sticking out of the sand sphinx. According to the affidavit of the ancient geographer Strabo , in these places was avenue of sphinxes stellar(a) to the Serapeum , where the Egyptians buried consecrated hairs . With three dozen workers began to dig Mariet Serapeum and unearthed this bowling alley , several tombs and two temples . He tack a granite sarcophagus with the mummified stiff of a bull and jewels. Furthermore, Auguste Mariette organized excavations urban center of Tanis , prepare treasures tabby cat Ah - hotep at Thebes ...\nOften, however, the Europeans found themselves alone niggardly hunters clades , who did not financial aid near what they could not sell at a profit . Many excessively was accuse of waste methods , which were exc avated . What can I say about the adventurer Belzoni - even such a prominent archaeologist , as Mariette , accused of using dynamite ! And after the event in 1835 of the order of magnitude on the suppress over the export of antiquities and a ban on the final stage of ancient monuments . The ordination was adopted only after firm recommendations of foreign scientists , in particular after the memorandum Jean-Francois Champollion against Muhammad Ali , dominion of Egypt . In the mid-fifties of the last ampere-second in the capital of Egypt Museum was opened eldest , and later created the Egyptian Antiquities Service headed by Mariette .
