Carved names
[edit]Worth noticing the names of modern visitors (vandalizers) carved around the original: "...DE SALLE" (probably "Eusébe de Salle", reported visiting Abu Simbel in 1839 at the book "Abu Simbel Meraviglia d'Egitto" by Valeria Ornano); "J POT T 1831", "C MOORE", "D L PORTER 1885", "L L ANDERSON 1848", "E RAUSCH 1861", and others... It deserves a quote in topics about "Vandalism"
