Ahram Online
Egypt's Ministry of State for Antiquities just issued a new book, 'The Tombs of Beni Hassan in Minya: The Picture and the Significance,' the first in a series in an ongoing project aimed at documenting Egypt's monuments and archaeological heritage.
The project, which began in 2004, aims to register all monuments throughout the country.
According to Minister of State for Antiquities Ahmed Ibrahim, the project will utilise the latest recording and documenting technologies.
The 377-page book includes 268 high-resolution photos of the tombs, along with 62 diagrams.
Magdy El-Ghandour, head of the Egyptian Centre for Recording Monuments, says the project's next step is to publish the scientific studies and make them available to future scholars.
