Petosiris' tomb is one of the most important structures in Tuna al-Gabal.

He was the great priest of Thoth, deity of wisdom, scribal practices & knowledge.

The tomb is shaped like a small temple, and blends Hellenic & Egyptian artistic motifs.

Eeek - thrilled to see this wonderful sculpture last month @museelouvre, a really rather unusual dyad - or pair - statue from the 25th Dynasty, imitating the Old and Middle Kingdom conjugal forms chiefly associated with the tomb. Ostentatious archaism at its best #statueSunday

Made in Egypt around 1590 BC for King Sobekemsaf I or II, it is carved from green jasper in the form of a scarab beetle, but has a human face https://t.co/fxZ2LZJYLF

Hard to photograph because the hypostyle hall is really dark, but lovely to see all the column capitals emerging from the grime at #Esna temple, where each one is different
