EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print showcases the awe-inspiring Great Temple of Ramses II at Abu Simbel, an ancient Egyptian site located near Aswan in southern Egypt. Dating back to the 13th century BC during the New Kingdom's 19th Dynasty, this architectural marvel was built to honor Pharaoh Ramses II and his queen Nefertari, as well as the gods Ra-Horakhty, Amun-Ra, and Ptah. The intricately carved reliefs on the temple's exterior walls depict Ramses II and his royal court, including his royal cartridges, which symbolized the king's power and divine connection. The king is often shown wearing the Atef crown, symbolizing his role as both a god and a pharaoh, and holding the ankh, the ancient Egyptian symbol of life. The hieroglyphic writing on the temple's walls is a testament to the advanced literacy and artistic skills of the ancient Egyptian civilization. The reliefs also depict various deities, such as Osiris, the god of the afterlife, and the falcon-headed god Horus, further emphasizing the importance of religion in ancient Egyptian society. The Great Temple at Abu Simbel is a key example of the grandeur and artistic achievements of the ancient Egyptian empire, which lasted from the 31st century BC to the 1st century AD. This print offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural significance of this ancient civilization, which continues to fascinate and inspire us today.
