These aerial photographs show what the Small Aten Temple looks like from a balloon.

"The series of launches done on early mornings in March this year [1992] demonstrated quickly the worth of persevering with seeing things from on high. . . . Part of the beauty and importance of Amarna is that so much of the ancient city is still there. It may be all but invisible from the ground, but from above, its often fragile lines convey unique images of a great city of antiquity. We can compile an aerial photographic archive of the site, zone by zone, building by building." (Barry Kemp)
