Excavating an avenue to the Temple of Karnak, Thebes, Egypt, 1905. Artist: Underwood & Underwood
Excavating an avenue to the Temple of Karnak, Thebes, Egypt, 1905. This scene furnishes us another good example of the way in which the rubbish and debris of fallen houses collect before and around and within the temples of Egypt. Look at the towers and see again the rows of holes in which the roofing timbers of such houses were supported. The rubbish all around us is the disintegrated mud-brick of their walls. Stereoscopic card. Detail. From a series called Egypt Through the Stereoscope, text by James H Breasted

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Excavating an avenue to the Temple of Karnak, Thebes, Egypt, 1905" takes us back in time to witness a remarkable archaeological endeavor. Captured by Underwood & Underwood, renowned pioneers of stereoscopic photography in the early 20th century, this image offers a glimpse into the meticulous work being carried out at one of Egypt's most iconic religious sites. The scene showcases the immense effort required to uncover and restore ancient structures buried beneath layers of debris. As we observe the photograph closely, our eyes are drawn to the towers that once supported houses now reduced to rubble. These fallen structures have left behind a trail of disintegrated mud-brick walls surrounding and within the temple complex. The presence of people engaged in excavation activities adds depth and perspective to this historical moment frozen in time. Arab workers can be seen diligently working amidst piles of rubbish as they carefully unearth remnants from centuries past. Through this powerful visual narrative, we gain insight into both the archeological significance and religious importance attributed to Karnak Temple. This print serves as a testament not only to Egypt's rich cultural heritage but also highlights humanity's enduring fascination with unraveling mysteries from ancient civilizations. With its monochrome aesthetic capturing every intricate detail, this print transports us back over a century ago when archaeology was still evolving as a discipline. It invites us on an immersive journey through time while reminding us of our collective responsibility towards preserving our shared history for future generations.
