Roman Frescoes on the Walls in Luxor Temple

Luxor, Egypt

Roman  Frescoes on top of Egyptian Carvings in Luxor

Another interesting item in Luxor temple is the Roman Frescoes on some of the walls. Apparently, when the Romans arrived in Egypt, they plastered the walls to cover up the pharaonic carvings and painted Roman frescoes on it. They are currently working on restoring and preserving the frescoes on the temple walls, so there were some areas with scaffolding.
