During the 2-days conference at Luxor, the internationals speakers and posters, coming from various missions of Theban Valley, presented a wide range of topics. They provided information of great interest for the discipline and enabled and enabled key moments of discussions around their work and ongoing researches.

The PTAH Symposium committee would like to thank all the participants and its partners, in particular the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities. We do hope that this first symposium will be the starter of a regular series for conservation-restoration conferences. The proceedings of the conference will follow and should provide much-needed documentation for conservators throughout Egypt; this for the sake of a magnificent heritage that is admired in the world over.
