This print captures the majestic Gate to the north of Karnak in Nubia, Egypt. Created by renowned artist Felix Bonfils in 1878, this image showcases a gateway leading to a small temple dedicated to Khonsu, an Ancient Egyptian deity associated with the Moon. The gate itself was constructed by Ptolemy III during the 3rd century BC, while the temple dates back even further to the New Kingdom era (16th-11th century BC). The intricate carvings adorning this monumental archway are a testament to the architectural brilliance of ancient Egypt. Hieroglyphics etched into its surface tell stories of gods and pharaohs long gone but still revered.
