The excavation was launched in 1989 under the authority of Mohamed El Sogheir. The Luxor cache was buried during the Roman conversion of the area into a military camp. Originally five statues were found at a three foot depth below a covering layer of small stones; eventually 26 statues were uncovered with some being damaged prior to burial. All of the statues are now in the Luxor Museum. Pictured are the guardians of Luxor Temple.
