EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate Zodiak from the tomb of Psammis in Thebes, New Kingdom. Taken from Giovanni Battista Belzoni's research and operations in Egypt and Nubia, this illustration transports us back to ancient times. The image reveals a beautifully preserved relief that depicts various Egyptian gods intertwined with constellations and hieroglyphs. Each detail is meticulously carved, showcasing the remarkable craftsmanship of the ancient Egyptians. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the deep connection between astronomy and religion in ancient Egypt. The stars were not only celestial bodies but also divine beings guiding their lives. The Zodiak serves as a reminder of how our ancestors sought to understand and interpret the cosmos through mythology and symbolism. It represents an amalgamation of cultural beliefs, bridging together both Egyptian and Nubian influences. Through this engraving, we catch a glimpse into the rich tapestry of history that unfolded within Thebes' walls. It reminds us that even thousands of years later, these artifacts continue to captivate our imagination and intrigue scholars worldwide. This print allows us to appreciate not only Belzoni's meticulous documentation but also Charles Joseph Hullmandel's skillful lithography work which brings every detail to life. As it hangs on display at the New York Public Library, it invites viewers to embark on a journey through time - exploring an era where artistry met spirituality under starlit skies.
