EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of ancient Egyptian civilization and its rich symbolism. The sculpture of a crocodile, found at the Kom Ombo Temple in Egypt, stands as a testament to the intricate artistry and religious beliefs of this bygone era. The image showcases an exquisite stone-carved crocodile, meticulously crafted by skilled Egyptian artisans. Its lifelike features evoke a sense of awe and wonder, reminding us of the reverence with which these creatures were regarded in ancient Egypt. As we gaze upon this remarkable artifact, we are transported back in time to a land where polytheism reigned supreme. The crocodile symbolized power, fertility, and protection for the Egyptians. It was associated with Sobek and Haroeris - two deities worshipped at the Kom Ombo Temple. The vibrant colors used in this photograph bring life to the sculpture's symbolic imagery. Every hue tells a story about ancient Egypt's fascination with animals and their connection to spirituality. Through this artwork, we catch glimpses of Africa's rich history and cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder that civilizations like ancient Egypt flourished on this continent long before our modern world came into existence. In Jean Bernard's expertly captured image lies not just an antiquity but also an invitation to explore our collective past – one filled with mystique, beauty, and profound spiritual beliefs that continue to inspire us today.
