Stunning photos of the restored ceiling and columns of the Temple of Khnum in Esna, Upper #Egypt. During a multi-year restoration project, the dirt and soot that had obscured the colors of the reliefs and inscriptions within the building for approximately 2000 years were carefully removed.
The temple is located 60 kilometers south of Luxor, Egypt.

Interior view of the temple showing massive stone columns with detailed carvings and colorful hieroglyphs. The columns are shaped like lotus or papyrus plants and are closely spaced, supporting a decorated ceiling. Two people stand near the base of the columns, providing scale. The ground is covered in gravel, and scaffolding or railings are visible in the foreground.

ℹ️ Update: Internet connectivity in #Egypt remains degraded some 48 hours after Monday's deadly fire at the Ramses Central Exchange; diminished telecoms continue to impact the economy and limit the public's ability to communicate 📉

Graph from NetBlocks showing the network connectivity in Egypt, from July 1, 2025, to July 09, 2025. The y-axis represents normalized connectivity, ranging from 0% to 100%, and the x-axis represents the dates. The green line representing Egypt's connectivity remains stable at around 100%, with a sharp drop on July 7. The drop in connectivity aligns with internet disruption due to a major fire at the Ramses Exchange, Cairo. The minimum and current connectivity levels are indicated as 44% and 71%, respectively. The chart has a dark background.
