The Ministry of Antiquities started the
tests for the Sphinx Avenue lighting system project last night.
Luxor Times was there to cover the event
and brought to you the first and exclusive photos and video of the historical
avenue being lit up for the first time.
The project was carried by “Misr for sound
and light company” using LED lights.
“The Sphinx Avenue or the Avenue of Sphinx
is the longest sacred road of the old world and so far there are 3 sectors of
the project finished. The first sector by Luxor Temple, the second is behind
the public library and the third from the airport road to the Karnak temple.”
Mr. Mansour Boraik said.
The trial tests were done on the evening of
19th of February in the second sector behind the library.

Wonderful! Was the avenue of sphinxes built by thirthieth dynasty pharaoh necho I?
Thank you Mena. You do so much better keeping us all informed about the Egyptology news of Luxor than Jane Akshar does.
This is breathtaking. Thank you for allowing us to see this.
