Here’s the latest we can verify from recent reports about the Ramesseum Tentyris (Luxor):
In early 2025, Egyptian-French archaeological teams announced significant discoveries at the Ramesseum, including tombs from the Third Intermediate Period, storage facilities for olive oil, honey, fats, and workshops for textiles and stonework, as well as a “House of Life” (a scientific school) attached to the temple. These findings also referenced a large-scale restoration of the temple precinct and related structures. This information was reported by multiple sources in April 2025. [sources consolidated from multiple 2025 reports]
Additional 2025 updates highlighted the discovery of a large number of tombs with burial chambers, canopic jars, 401 ushabti figurines, and wine-related storage facilities; a granite lintel fragment showing Ramses II as a deity before Amun-Ra was also noted, along with evidence of an eastern complex likely used as administrative offices. These details appeared in contemporaneous coverage of the Luxor site excavations. [sources consolidated from multiple 2025 reports]
In April 2026, there were reports of a 3,300-year-old Royal cartouche of Ramesses II uncovered at the Ramesseum during restoration work, with Korea National University of Cultural Heritage taking part in surveys of the northern stretch of the first pylon. This finding is framed as contributing to refinements in understanding the temple’s construction phases. [source: Outlook Traveller, April 14, 2026]
