EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the intricately carved Mandrill relief on the base of the Obelisk of Ramesses II, located in the grand Temple of Luxor in Thebes, Egypt. Dating back to the New Kingdom and the age of the powerful Pharaoh Ramesses II, this ancient monument is a testament to the artistic and architectural prowess of the Egyptians. The Mandrill relief, with its lifelike depiction of the primate, is a unique and fascinating addition to the hieroglyphic inscriptions that adorn the obelisk. The hieroglyphs, a writing system used by the Egyptians for over three thousand years, are etched into the stone, conveying historical information and religious texts. The Obelisk of Ramesses II, standing tall and proud, is a symbol of the wealth and power of the Egyptian Empire during the New Kingdom era. The Temple of Luxor, dedicated to the god Amun, is a magnificent structure that has withstood the test of time, preserving the rich history and culture of ancient Egypt. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Egyptians celebrated their gods, their pharaohs, and their natural world through intricate art and monumental architecture.
