A loose block with the head of Seti I wearing the red crown of Lower Egypt. It was once part of the lintel over the north gateway

Most of these blocks have been lying on the ground for a century and they have suffered decay from water and salt infiltration. During our 2000 field season, the most endangered blocks were cleaned and conserved to stabilize them and protect them from further damage. Most have now been removed to waterproof platforms. Photography and preliminary copying of the inscribed blocks was carried out during the 2000 and 2002 seasons.
