Estatua de Alejandro Magno como faraón

Estatua de Alejandro Magno como faraón

Autor:
Fecha:Siglo IV a.C.
Características:

Aunque no se si son exactamente las imagenes que se pedian, adjunto dos fotografias de los relieves de la capilla de Luxor donde esta representado Alejandro realizando ofrendas, vestido con los atributos faraonicos, ante Amon-Min. La mayor, en blanco y negro esta sacada del libro de Aidan Dodson "Las familias reales del Antiguo Egipto" y la segunda (en la que ademas se ven los cartuchos de Alejandro) de "Alejandro Magno de Grecia al Oriente" de Pierre Briant.
