The columns of Egyptian buildings also sometimes reveal their secrets to us when plaster falls off from them.

I am specifically using photographs from the late 19th century. Today, much that can be seen on them is already hidden from the sight of tourists.

In this article, I want to bring to your attention a couple of photos.

In this photograph, we again clearly see traces of plaster on the columns.

Especially in places where it fell off.

Under the plaster, there is clear concrete again. It does not seem at all that this column was hammered with a bronze chisel.

Above the arch is even more interesting. They simply did not bother and tyap - a blunder covered with a solution the place where the hieroglyphs should be.

All these are clearly traces of the so-called "remake". And they simply do not allow to believe that these are the buildings of very ancient Egyptians.

You can say that I am just finding fault and these are traces of a bad restoration. Maybe. But I'm not just pointing out the presence of plaster on the columns.

You can say that the same mythical ancient Egyptians could very well have inflicted it. I disagree for two reasons.

Plaster cannot hang on stone for tens of thousands of years. By any measure, it cannot. She MUST fall off. That we, by the way, and observe, although here it is clearly not so much time.

Therefore, Egyptologists do not want to admit that plastering work has been carried out there.

A meticulous reader may ask me: why am I so sure that this plaster does not have much time? Let's take a look at another photo.

Don't you notice anything?

And so?

On the column there is clearly an inscription made in the Latin alphabet with the date "1823".

So what - you say. Tourists scribbled.

Firstly, tourism began to develop in the 1840s, and they still could not travel to Egypt.

Secondly, it is not scribbled, but written over a liquid solution that then solidified.

And I will immediately note the version that it was written by the restorers, and then photographed. As you know, in 1823, photography technology did not yet exist.

The only conclusion remains. The inscription was made by the manufacturers of this "antiquity". Either deliberately or out of self-indulgence.

You can express yourself and make your own version of this in the comments.
