KHARGA:
Interiors of Bagawat

Most of the interiors of the chapels of Bagawat were probably without much decorations. And among the ones which were decorated, the hardship of time has been cruel. In the finest, the figures have been defaced by Muslim fanatics decades ago.

... and the walls of the interior is decorated with biblical scenes. The best of these is the Chapel of the Exodus, showing scenes from the Jews and Moses escaping from Egyptian troops.

The Chapel of Peace, with defaced images of Adam and Eve, the Ark, Abraham and Isaac.
