			Visited Dendera today, and it seems that a major restoration/conservation is taking place in the first hypostyle hall. The ceiling and north wall are being cleaned, and the underlying colours are really glowing. This phase will take about another 6 months to complete, when the team (all Egyptian) will move on to the other sections of ceiling that are covered in a deep layer of soot. The difference can be clearly seen in the above photograph.
