EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing ruins of the Temple of Kom Ombo, a remarkable ancient structure dating back to the 2nd century B. C. Located on the banks of the majestic Nile River, approximately 50 kilometers north of Aswan in Egypt, this archaeological marvel is a testament to the rich history and architectural brilliance of ancient Egyptian civilization. Photographed by Henry Cammas around 1860, this image beautifully captures the grandeur and mystique surrounding Kom Ombo Temple. The Corinthian-style columns stand tall against an azure sky, revealing intricate details carved into their stone surfaces. The temple's exterior walls bear witness to centuries gone by, displaying remnants of faded hieroglyphics and symbols that once honored deities such as Haroeris (Horus) and Sobek (Suchos). As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when pharaohs ruled over vast lands and worshipped their gods within these sacred walls. The iron age has long passed since its construction; however, its enduring presence continues to captivate modern-day visitors who come from all corners of the globe to witness its magnificence firsthand. This print serves as a window into Egypt's rich cultural heritage and invites us to explore further into its fascinating past. It reminds us that even in ruins, there is beauty waiting to be discovered—a testament to human ingenuity standing strong against the test of time.
