Restoration of the Ramasseum - Part 2 comments and links

My blog gets published to Facebook and there has been a good number of comments about the previous post regarding the restoration at the Ramasseum, a couple of which you will find interesting as they point to more information.

One is the blog of the restoration team, this is a link to an English post but most of the blog is in French http://www.mafto.fr/2011/05/the-recent-excavation-and-restoration-works-at-the-ramesseum/

The second is a link to a virtual reconstruction of the colossus http://www.insightdigital.org/colossus.htm

Comments have range a lot, 2/3 appear to be against more reconstruction and are concerned about destroying the ambiance of the site, one has raised the issue of protection against the rising water table.
