Excerpt from Notice Explicative des Ruines du Temple de Louxor
C'est au cours des huit dernieres années que le temple de Louxor a été déblayé. Auparavant il était impossible au voyageur de se rendre compte de la disposition et de l'étendue du monument, tant les terres amoncelées et les maisons construites jus que sur son faîte permettaient peu d'en saisir le plan.
