Egyptian temple 'appears' in shopping centre optical illusion

Don't look down! Phew, pharaoh minute there, it looked real!

If you enjoy using chalk for your artwork, how about creating a clever optical illusion like this one, that celebrates the Temple of Medinet Habu, in the Egyptian city of Luxor.

The Temple is dedicated to one of the most famous pharaohs, King Ramesses III.

He ruled Ancient Egypt in the 12th century BCE, and has been described as the last of the great warrior kings of the country.

The colourful artwork created by 3D street artist Joe Hill is on display to celebrate the Made in Egypt exhibition at the city's Fitzwilliam Museum.

Joe said he was "excited" to have brought the artwork to life and hoped people would "have fun interacting with the artwork and making up poses."

The ancient Egyptian civilisation began around 5,000 years ago when people started building villages next to the River Nile in north-east Africa.

It lasted for around 3,000 years and during that time the people were ruled by kings and queens called pharaohs.

The artwork in the picture represents the Temple of Ramses III at Medinet Habu, which was built between 1186 and 1155 BC and is the second-largest temple complex in Egypt.

The huge temple is an important archaeological site, due to its significance, beauty and good state of preservation.
