Several hundred years ago most of Luxor was buried in sand with a village setting on top. Much of it remains unexcavated. The Avenue of the Sphinxes runs a mile or more between Luxor Temple and Karnak. Much of central Luxor is being relocated to make way for the excavation.

Hi Jeff,
My name is Jeff Burzacott. I'm the editor for Nile Magazine, a new U.K. magazine dedicated to ancient Egypt. (The debut issue is in around 80 WHSmith stores around the U.K. right now).
An upcoming issue features the Avenue of Sphinxes in Luxor and I came across your image of part of it being excavated and reconstructed. It's a great photo.
I'm writing to ask your permission to use your photo in the article. Naturally you would retain full copyright and would be duly credited.
Please let me know if you are happy to see your photo in Nile Magazine (or not), and any other conditions you require.
If you do kindly grand permission, it would be great to access a higher-resolution version of the photo if possible. That would help make sure it prints as crisply as possible.
If you would like to check out the Nile Magazine website or Facebook page, here are the links:
