EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enchanting ruins of Set Maat, the ancient settlement of artisans who dedicated their lives to creating the awe-inspiring tombs of the New Kingdom pharaohs in the Valley of the Kings, Egypt. Located at Deir el-Medina, this once-thriving village was home to skilled craftsmen, artisans, and workmen who labored under the patronage of the royal court. Settled during the 18th Dynasty and continuing through the 20th Dynasty, the community of Deir el-Medina was a vital component of the ancient Egyptian civilization. The artisans, who were responsible for the intricate carvings, frescoes, and other decorative elements in the tombs, lived in houses clustered around the quarry site. Their daily lives were documented in the Deir el-Medina Tombs, a series of tombs that provide a unique glimpse into the daily lives of the ancient Egyptians. The ruins of Set Maat, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stand as a testament to the rich history and cultural achievements of ancient Egypt. The crumbling walls, once home to the artisans and their families, now lie in quiet repose, their stories waiting to be uncovered by the curious minds of archaeologists and historians. The ruins of Set Maat serve as a reminder of the enduring legacy of the ancient Egyptian civilization and the invaluable contributions of its skilled artisans.
