Original - Karnak, as it appeared in 1838. From a tinted lithograph by
Louis Hahge, 1806-1885. Restored from
File:Karnacs.jpg.
Reason
Wikipedia ought to feature dozens of scenes from ancient Egypt. Not everything important is available in high resolution format yet; here we have a start: the ruins at Karnac, as recorded in 1838. Very high resolution file; smaller courtesy copy available at
File:Karnacs2 couresy copy.jpg. Unrestored version at
File:Karnacs.jpg.
Support this splendid sketch. It looks much more vivid than the
original one! It also gives the viewer an idea about the real dimension and proportion of the buildings. Quite informative. --

Strong Support - huge EV, lovely restoration and great quality. I'd like some comment though - looking at the original, this seems a bit too blue. Anyone else agree? —

Support: Excellent all around. I love images with this much complexity. Synergy 00:30, 1 April 2009 (UTC)reply
Comment I agree with Vanderdecken about the colors on this. The colors in the original look a lot more like what the actual place looks like, so maybe a happy medium would work best here.
