"An Egyptian-American archaeological team has unearthed a limestone tablet with coloured images near the wall of the Temple of Mot in Luxor, Minister of Culture Farouq Hosni said yesterday. The 100 x 45 centimetre tablet shows the images of five gods in the form of children sitting on a lotus flower, General Supervisor for Luxor Antiquities, Mansour Breik, said.
