And afterwards, all of the archeologists celebrated their find on the nickle slots!

Since the pharoahs were gods, you’d think that the Nile wouldn’t mess with his temple with flooding but maybe just go around it.

I guess the ancients were pretty pragmatic about god-head status tho if they just went ahead and used the stones for construction elsewhere. Sic Semper Amenhotep.
