EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to ancient Egypt, specifically to the Temple of Hathor in Denderah. The image showcases a mesmerizing view of the steps on the temple's roof, dating back to approximately 125 BC-AD 60. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, our eyes are immediately drawn to the intricate hieroglyphs adorning the walls and pillars surrounding the staircase. These sacred symbols tell stories of gods and goddesses, priests and priestesses, their divine powers intertwined with human existence. The low relief sculptures depicting various deities further enhance the mystical ambiance of this photograph. Each carefully carved figure seems to come alive as they watch over those who ascend these hallowed steps. In this snapshot frozen in time, we catch a glimpse into the religious practices that once took place within these ancient walls. It is almost as if we can sense the presence of monks and clergy going about their daily rituals, diligently carrying out their duties under the watchful eyes of their gods. Julian Page's masterful photography captures not only an architectural marvel but also evokes a deep appreciation for Egypt's rich cultural heritage. This print serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed, art has an extraordinary ability to transport us across time and immerse us in worlds long gone by.
