At the excavation site of the Safura Temple, the scholars' work is in full swing.
The morning light slants against the huge stone walls of the temple, making the reliefs that have endured thousands of years of wind and sand erosion particularly clear.
On both sides of the towering tower gate, two incomplete statues of Safura stand silently. Although their faces have long been blurred, the former majesty can still be felt.
Scholars carefully clean the sand around the stone statue's base, gently brushing away the surface dust with fine brushes, fearing to damage any detail that might hide important information.
At the main entrance of the temple, several surveyors are setting up precision measuring instruments, meticulously recording the dimensions and positions of each stone.
Their workbench is piled with surveyed drawings, densely marked with angles and distances.
