I understand that, but really I don't think that's what they mean. Does anyone have a link to the details? I'm sure they'll lay it out more clearly in the actual laws... without being able to distribute *photographs* of the buildings tourism could go smack, as most photographers are not going to want to pay and those photos are part of the whole reason why Egypt is such a popular tourist destination. I'm pretty certain they mean replicas of monuments and artifacts that are created (such as the stated example of the ones in Las Vegas).

 

More particularly, note "the law would apply to full-scale replicas of any object in any museum in Egypt." Is a photograph considered a "full-scale replica"? It's a 2D representation, I doubt they intend to include these in the law.

 

Let's find some more sources and read the fine print before worrying our heads off here.
