EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the ancient city of Thebes, Egypt, circa 1937 BC. Taken by renowned artist David Roberts, it showcases the majestic "Fragments of the Great Colossus" at the Memnonium. Standing tall against a backdrop of ruins, these remnants offer a glimpse into the grandeur and power that once defined this legendary civilization. The colossal statues depicted here are believed to have been part of an even larger monument dedicated to Pharaoh Amenhotep III. Despite their fragmented state, they still exude an aura of awe-inspiring beauty and strength. Their weathered surfaces bear witness to centuries gone by, hinting at countless stories etched into their stone forms. Roberts' masterful composition captures not only the physicality but also the spiritual essence imbued within these ancient relics. The play between light and shadow adds depth and mystery to each fragment's intricate details - from chiseled features to delicate hieroglyphics. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, we are reminded of our connection with history; how civilizations rise and fall while leaving behind echoes of their existence for future generations to marvel at. It is through photographs like these that we can bridge temporal gaps and immerse ourselves in worlds long past. Courtesy of Fine Art Finder via www. bridgemanimages. com
