EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the Sphinx of Ptolemy XII Auletes, an Egyptian pharaoh who ruled during the Ptolemaic period from 80 to 51 BC. As the father of the famous queen Cleopatra VII, Ptolemy XII is an intriguing figure in Egyptian history. This magnificent sculpture, now on temporary display at the Martin Gropius Museum in Berlin, Germany, is a testament to the artistic prowess of the ancient Egyptian civilization. The Sphinx, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human, was a symbol of power and wisdom in Egyptian culture. This particular Sphinx is adorned with the nemes headdress, signifying royalty, and the uraeus, a symbol of divine protection and kingship. The pharaoh's title, "Neos Dionysos Theos Philopator Philadelphos," meaning "newly born god, lover of his father, lover of his brother," is inscribed on the statue, emphasizing his divine status. Ptolemy XII, also known as Ptolemy Auletes due to his love for music, was a patron of the arts and is believed to have commissioned this impressive work. The Sphinx, with its intricate details and lifelike features, showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of the Egyptian artists of the time. As we marvel at this ancient masterpiece, we are transported back to the rich history and culture of the Egyptian civilization.
