Section of carved stone sitting on wooden support, part of restoration effort

The Karnak temple in Luxor is pretty old, although not so by ancient Egyptian standards (the Pyramids and the Great Sphinx is much older, with a lot of mysteries about these ancient structures). The Karnak temple is around 35 centuries old, and has seen some wear and tear over the long periods since it was built. Here, you can see part of the restoration, with a section of carved stone resting on wooden support sections.
