A THANK YOU to all our great Inspectors and General Directors!
Following the relatively new find of the unique stela of Amen-Ra and Thoth, and of course the latest news on the discovery of the temple, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to all the inspectors who have been assigned to the project so far, and of course to the General Directors of Aswan - Mr. Nasr Salam (and previously Mr. Hakim Karar and Mr. Fathy Abuzied) - and Kom Ombo - Mr. Abd el Menum. We could not have achieved such success without your support and cooperation, and we consider it a true honor working side-by-side with you all.

So, THANK YOU!
Mr. Nasr Salama, Abd el Menum, Ahmed Sayed, Mohamed Ali, Khaled Shawky, Hassan Mohamed, Mustafa MohamedMohamed Ahmed, Mohamed Mohsen, Essam el-Deen Mahmoud, Mostafa el-Far, Mohamed Hamdy, Mohamed Hassan,  Mostafa Mohamed, Sayed Mahmoud, Mohamed Ibrahim and Ashraf Mohamed!
