EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning relief depicts the ancient Egyptian deity Amun, represented as a mummified god with the ram's head, bestowing the ankh, the symbol of life, upon Pharaoh Ramses II. The relief is a testament to the deep reverence ancient Egyptians held for their gods and their rulers. Dated to the 13th century and belonging to the Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt's New Kingdom, this masterpiece was discovered in the Ramesseum, the mortuary temple of Ramses II, located in the Necropolis of Thebes, on the west bank of the Nile. The intricately carved hieroglyphics and mythological scenes on the temple walls provide a glimpse into the beliefs and values of ancient Egyptian society. The perspective in the relief creates a sense of depth and grandeur, with Amun's outstretched arm and Ramses II's outstretched hand forming a connection between the divine and the human realm. The relief's preservation is a testament to the enduring legacy of ancient Egyptian art and religion.
