Luxor Kamose Stele EG962095JHP Egypt Museum Luxor Inside Exhibit Stele Stela Kamose Photo was taken inside this modern building on the waterfront of the River Nile with its fascinating collection covering the extensive history of ancient Egypt including items from the Tomb of Tutankahum. This particular exhibit extols the victory of King Kamose over the Hyksos at Avaris found in Amun Temple at Karnak dating from 1555BC and is in the museum proper and was taken in 1996 when you could pay to take photographs but not use a tripod, now not allowed at all, and I used Kodak 5042 Tungsten Slide film which still meant hand holding was at the extremes of useful photography in low light conditions.
