EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Step Pyramid of King Djoser, a true testament to the ingenuity and architectural prowess of ancient Egypt. Standing tall in Saqqara, Memphis, this monumental stone structure is believed to be the first of its kind ever built. Dating back to approximately 2667-2648 BC during the Old Kingdom period, it serves as a timeless reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that thrived in this region. Designed by Imhotep, an esteemed architect and physician of his time, this funerary pyramid exhibits a unique stepped design that sets it apart from other pyramids in Egypt. Its intricate construction features six layers or steps that gradually decrease in size as they ascend towards the heavens. This ziggurat-like formation adds an element of grandeur and mystique to the overall composition. The Step Pyramid stands as a symbol of reverence for King Djoser's legacy and his eternal resting place. It represents not only an architectural marvel but also reflects upon the religious beliefs and practices surrounding death and afterlife during ancient times. Through this mesmerizing photograph captured by John Bethell, viewers are transported back thousands of years into Egypt's glorious past. The fine details showcased here allow us to appreciate both the craftsmanship involved in constructing such a magnificent structure and its enduring beauty even after centuries have passed.
