The Vulture Rock



Further along the valley road, one can behold the Vulture Rock. It is so named because its shape –seen at a certain angle– resembles the shape of a vulture. The rock is covered with 600 cartouches and inscriptions from Pharaonic times cheek by jowl with Pre-Dynastic boats and animals. Some were carved by priests, others made by pilgrims.
