EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the powerful connection between Pharaoh Amenhotep III and the crocodile-god Sobek. Taken at the majestic Sobek Temple in Dakamsha, Egypt, during the 18th Dynasty of ancient Egypt, it offers a glimpse into the religious beliefs and rituals of that time. In this image, we see Pharaoh Amenhotep III standing beside a magnificent statue of Sobek. The vibrant colors bring to life both the king's regal attire and the intricate details of Sobek's divine form. As one of Egypt's most revered deities, Sobek was associated with fertility, protection, and military prowess. The composition highlights not only the close relationship between pharaohs and gods but also their role as intermediaries between mortals and divinity. This portrayal emphasizes Pharaoh Amenhotep III's authority as a ruler while acknowledging his spiritual connection to Sobek. Located near Luxor in Thebes, this temple served as an important center for religious ceremonies dedicated to Sobek. Its significance is further underscored by its proximity to other renowned Egyptian landmarks such as Karnak Temple. Through this remarkable photograph captured by CM Dixon, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary moment where religion meets royalty in ancient Egypt. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of these mighty rulers and their unwavering devotion to their gods.
