Hi Muddy, Was there anything specific which you enjoyed seeing ?
For me, I was mesmerized by the seated statue of Pharaoh Khafre. Made of diorite, the 2nd hardest material on earth, it is as smooth as a glass minor. Only diamonds are harder.

I agree with the dedication and craftsmanship it takes to complete such a sculpture. It’s extraordinary talent for sure. There’s a women on another site I’m on who creatures these types of sculptures and she’s incredibly good. Her work is extremely impressive. I’ll ask if I can show her work here. I think you’ll be impressed Bakerman.
Ok I got her permission. Her name is Cheryl Gaer Barlow and here are some of her sculptures. I believe 4 of them are bronze sculptures and the Indian one I think is clay. Here is her link

I really like the clay Indian Bratti. It's his expression, I think.

I loved Tuts leopard bed and then the angry mummy of Ramses 11.
It was many years ago don’t think people can see these any more in the new museum .

One would think that the Egyptian authorities would take better care of their priceless treasures. Seriously, we pay good money to view each and every site. I would think that the Arabs, would hire people to keep the sites clean.

Re: No talent "art""
A common theme of Raphael's were archangels. While Christian art may not be to everyone's taste, I think all of us can agree that such work was NOT done on the spur of the moment and completed within 30 minutes.Any fool can paint abstract art, but what talent does it demonstrate ? I say none... what-so-ever.
