To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At Dendera, the Greek Ten- tyra, the great sanctuary of the goddess of love, Hathor, built under the last Ptolemies, was in the main cleared of rubbish, and numerous other temples and chapels in the neighborhood were laid open. The numerous inscriptions and sculptures found covering the temple were copied and afterwards published in large volumes. On the ground of ancient Thebes there was hardly a known monument which was not examined. On the east bank of the Nile, in the royal temple of Karnak..., extensive excavations were undertaken, which were productive of numerous finds of inscriptions and other monuments. The discovery of the oldest part of the temple, which dates from the Middle Empire, being also a success, Mariette was in a position to fix the architectural history of these temple build- ings from their foundation in the time of the Ptolemies down to the latest periods. On the west bank of the Nile, at Thebes, there were laid open in the south the temple build- ings of Medinet Habu, and partly cleared of rubbish.
