Black and white photograph of a rock-cut temple. The temple has a flat top and a rough, rocky cliff face in the background. In the center, there are four large stone statues of people with their bodies mostly carved into the cliff face. The statues appear to be wearing head wraps. Between the two sets of statues are long, thin stone pillars covered in hieroglyphics. The statues and pillars are all made of the same stone as the cliff face. In front of the temple, there are some rocks and sparse vegetation. The overall atmosphere suggests an ancient Egyptian temple.
