EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases one of the two colossal statues of Pharaoh Ramses II, a powerful ruler of Egypt's 19th Dynasty during the New Kingdom era, around 13th century BC. The statue, located at Abu Simbel, is a testament to the grandeur and artistic prowess of the ancient Egyptian civilization. Ramses II is depicted seated with the iconic nemes headdress and the double crown, symbolizing his divine kingship. The intricately carved details on his face, beard, and the falcon headdress showcase the skillful artistry of the ancient Egyptian sculptors. The statue's legs are crossed, and the pharaoh holds the goddess Hathor's symbol, a sistrum, in his left hand. The statue's pedestal also features the images of Ramses II with his queen Nefertari, their children, and some of his princes. This magnificent sculpture is a reminder of the rich history and the artistic achievements of the ancient Egyptian civilization.
