Egypt
Thanks to Bob Partridge for letting me know the actual state of play with the wonderful Temple Mill, modelled on Edfu, that I posted about yesterday.
Bob says that it has not yet been been restored, but that work has now started. He was able to visit just before the work began and the place will be off limits for around three years. Part of the mill had actually collapsed and a lot of work will be needed. Bob says that although this work will involve restoration it will also include the demolition of some parts of the building. It will be interesting to see what emerges!
Ancient Egypt magazine (of which Bob is the Editor, of course) will have something about it in the December issue of Ancient Egypt magazine.
