Internet - Original source ill-defined
The results include twenty five images and of these there are:
  1. two copies of the earlies photograph currently known - Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, View from the Courtyard, 1826
  2. two photographs of the Holy Land
  3. one photograph of Mecca in Saudi Arabia
The other twenty images are photographs of Egypt but none of them is the earliest. Interestingly thirteen of the twenty show The Pyramids and/or the Sphinx.
