In Part 1 of this two-part mini-series we showed some rare photographs from The Sphinx Excavations of the 1920s, 30s, 70s and 80s, and in this video, we’ll be showing you even more rare historic photographs of Ancient Egypt, so we can see how things looked before modern restoration and renovation.

The pictures date from roughly 1890 to 1902, well over 100 years old, with a few later pictures from the 1930s. Although we have seen some pictures elsewhere online, some of the stereo cards are certainly unique.
