Experts of the Ministry of Antiquities & Tourism have a guiding board of the original scenes of a famous mural of Kom Ombo’s Temple in Aswan, some 1000 km in south of Cairo.
This mural which is known as surgery tools depicts those tools used in Ancient Egypt.
Dr. Mustafa Waziri, General-Secretary of the Higher Council of Antiquities, explained that the guiding board was designed according to the most sophisticated international methods at that field.
He pointed out that the board was installed in the outer court of the temple near the narrow corridor where the original mural stands. The board works to thin in front of the original mural.
Visitors stand for hours to watch accuracy of the surgery tools used by the Ancient Egyptian which mirrors advancement of science and medicine then.
Dr. Waziri said further that the new board enables the tourist guides to stand longer in spacious room to explain the contents of the mural instead of cramming in the narrow corridor. The visitors can move easily inside the temple after thinning crowds there.
The new broad includes pictures of the surgery tools and a short captions of each item.
Abdel Monem Said, General Director of Aswan Antiquities, said that the mural of surgery tools is considered one of the famous paintings and engravings in the Temple of Kom Ombo because big numbers of visitors come to watch it.
The temple was built on the eastern bank of the Nile River in the Ptolemaic era which was consecrated to both Sobek and Hours, two deities in Ancient Egypt; it was distinguished with its accurate engravings and their prettiness.
Works of restoring were completed this year and the system of lighting was upgraded.
Experts of the Ministry of Antiquities also completed a program to reduce underground water in cooperation with the United States AID and the National Authority of Drinking Water and Sanitation. Dr. Khalid El Enani, Minister of Antiquities opened that project last March.
