[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a detail of a wall in the Tomb of Ptah Hotep, in Saqqara. There were these hieroglyphs in white/grey and there were others in brown tones (I might post an image later). These reliefs are known for their intrincate details and are the best preserved of the Old Kingdom. I hope you like them.

I really love this one. But it is a little too blue, don't you think?
If you don't mind, I did a workshop on it. Hope you like it.
