EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Egypt, dating back to the 11th century BC. The image features a scarab-beetle, symbolizing rebirth and transformation, with an infant sun resting on its back. Below them is a radiant sun-disc, representing the power and significance of the celestial body in Egyptian culture. The papyrus on which this scene is depicted belonged to Queen Nejmet, an esteemed noble lady during the late 20th-early 21st dynasties of Egypt. Nodjmet is portrayed as a queen in her Book of the Dead papyrus, emphasizing her high status and connection to divine forces. The brown hues of this artwork add depth and richness to its overall composition. It serves as a fascinating testament to ancient Egyptian beliefs surrounding life after death and their intricate understanding of astronomy within the solar system. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back in time to witness the profound reverence that Egyptians held for nature's wonders. This print not only captures our imagination but also reminds us of humanity's enduring fascination with both science and spirituality throughout centuries.
