Luxor statue cache


The Luxor statue cache (also known as the Dush Treasure) is a grouping of Ancient Egyptian statues unearthed in 1989. They were discovered in Luxor, beneath the solar court of the 18th dynasty Pharaoh Amenhotep III.

The excavation was launched in 1989 under the authority of Mahammed el-Saghir, with routine maintenance by the Luxor antiquities inspectorate. The Luxor cache was buried during the Roman conversion of the area into a military camp. Originally five statues were found at a three foot depth below a covering layer of small stones; eventually 26 statues were uncovered with some being damaged prior to burial.
