EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of the temple of Kom Ombo in Egypt takes us back to ancient times, immersing us in the rich history and architectural marvels of this magnificent structure. The main entrance stands proudly before us, showcasing the grandeur and intricacy that was characteristic of the Ptolemaic period. Built during this Hellenistic era, the temple is unique as it is a double temple dedicated to two gods - Sobek, the crocodile god associated with fertility and protection, and Horus, the falcon-headed god symbolizing power and kingship. Its significance lies not only in its religious importance but also in its stunning design adorned with hieroglyphics. The photographer's lens captures every detail flawlessly, allowing us to appreciate these ancient hieroglyphs that tell stories from a bygone era. As we gaze at this image from a 1923 book on Egypt's wonders, we are transported through time to witness firsthand how language was etched into stone walls. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and creativity throughout history. It reminds us of our fascination with ancient civilizations and their enduring legacies. Whether you're an archaeology enthusiast or simply captivated by Egypt's allure, this print offers a glimpse into an extraordinary world waiting to be explored.
