Image of pharaoh and others on a pillar inside the Hypostyle Hall in Karnak

I was trying to get a specific photo of what the carvings on a pillar look like, so went close to one of them and tried to get a photo of the carvings. This pillar shows a carving of a pharaoh, and possibly, the interaction of the pharaoh with the Gods. And of course, I was struck by how much detail remains of these carvings even 35 centuries after they were made.
