EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image, Nefertari, also known as Nefertari Merytmut, the beloved wife of Rameses the Great, gracefully gazes out from her colossal bust carved in the Temple of Hathor or Small Temple at Abu Simbel in Egypt. Dating back to the New Kingdom, specifically the 19th Dynasty, around 1250 BC, this ancient work of art showcases the remarkable craftsmanship and artistic prowess of the Egyptian civilization. Nefertari, one of Rameses II's principal wives, is depicted wearing the nemes headdress, adorned with the uraeus, a symbol of royal power and divine protection in the form of a cobra. The feather headdress, a symbol of the goddess Hathor, sits atop her head, further emphasizing her divine connection and status as a queen. Her face, carved with intricate detail, exudes an air of regality and serenity. The colossal bust of Nefertari, along with the four colossal statues of Rameses II, were carved out of the sandstone cliffs at Abu Simbel as a testament to their power and wealth. The hieroglyphs inscribed on the temple walls tell the story of their reign and the great empire they ruled over. This breathtaking artwork is a reminder of the rich history and artistic achievements of ancient Egypt. Nefertari's name, meaning "beautiful companion," is a fitting title for this exquisitely carved bust, which continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and historical significance. This image offers a glimpse into the lives of the powerful rulers of Egypt during the New Kingdom and the enduring legacy of their civilization.
