Shrine to Ptah and Meretseger

If you turn right at the car park of the Valley of Queens and climb up a fairly gentle slop you will find this shrine cut into the walls. As you can see from this photo is is not far from the Valley of Queens.


This is another of the places that no tourist goes to and yet it is within sight of the road taken by the big tour groups.



The reliefs are worth seeing and with the amount of modern vandalism i should get there quick.

I manged to find a couple of good sites which have even more information and photos. http://xy2.org/lenka/Ptahshrine.html and http://www.egyptsites.co.uk/upper/luxorwest/other/meretseger.html
