EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts a significant moment in the ancient Egyptian New Kingdom's Twentieth Dynasty, during the reign of Pharaoh Ramses III (1186-1155 BC). The Temple of Ramses III at Medinet Habu, located in Thebes, is the backdrop for this intriguing scene. Intricately carved into the temple's polychrome relief, officials are meticulously counting the severed hands of enemies killed in action.

The hieroglyphic inscriptions surrounding the scene further enhance its historical significance. The hieroglyphs describe the military campaign, detailing the names of the enemy lands and their leaders, as well as the triumphant victories of Ramses III's forces.
