Abstract | ||||
The Main Temple of The Keman Fares built in the beginning of Middle kingdom. Different Granite statues are excavated in this site. The analytical study of the deterioration of the granite statues are made by using different analytical techniques such as thin section and scanning electron microscope. This study examines the physicochemical environments of Keman Fares Temple. Also this paper is based on the research carried out to determine the environmental deterioration on the degradation of the Granite statues. The samples were studied by X- ray diffraction (XRD), Energy dispersive X- ray analysis and X- ray fluorescence to find out the deterioration intensity on these statues. | ||||
