Wall art and heiroglyphs

The wall art here was very well preserved where it wasn't purposely defaced. The issue of defacement came up again and again. Modern Egyptians blame the Christians for much of the defacment however it's more likely that as one regime was defeated by another, the victors took to removing reminders of the vanquished.
