The Ancient World
Luxor, Egypt -- A local rests in the shade under a mural of protection. Note that under the goddess of protection Nekhbet (the vulture), half of the hieroglyphic mural showing the monarch / pharoah has been destroyed -- probably to eliminate Hatshepsut from the God's favor. © Rick Collier / RickCollier.com.
