EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the mysterious interior of a pyramid. The image is from "Sphynx mystagoga" a renowned work by Athanase Kircher, dating all the way back to 1673. Kircher, a Jesuit scholar, had access to the Jesuit Library in Cairo, Egypt, where he was able to explore and document ancient artifacts. The photograph captures the essence of ancient Egyptian archaeology with its intricate engravings and architectural marvels. It transports us into a world filled with wonder and curiosity about the secrets hidden within these majestic structures. The lighting inside the pyramid adds an air of mystery as shadows dance across the walls adorned with hieroglyphics. Each detail tells a story of an advanced civilization that once thrived in this very place. Leonard de Selva's skillful photography brings out every nuance of this historical masterpiece. The clarity and composition allow us to appreciate every line etched into stone by skilled hands centuries ago. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded of our fascination with ancient civilizations and their enduring legacy. It serves as a reminder that there is still so much left undiscovered beneath layers of sand and time – waiting for intrepid explorers like Kircher to unravel their mysteries.
