Looking down on the island of Philae and its temples, Egypt, 1905. Artist: Underwood & Underwood
Looking down on the island of Philae and its temples, Egypt, 1905. Over on the right is the square kiosk which the natives call Pharaohs Bed; it has no roof and never was finished, but it is one of the gems of the palace. It dates back from the Roman age. The building with the large pylon is the lsis temple. That little obelisk is one of a pair - the other has been carried to England. They were created in the time of Ptolemy IX (about 557 BC) and are of especial interest because the one now in England was the monument which enabled Champollion to take the first steps in his decipherment of the hieroglyphic, before he employed the Rosetta stone. Stereoscopic card. Detail. From a series called Egypt Through the Stereoscope, text by James H Breasted

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting island of Philae in Egypt, circa 1905. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are drawn to the magnificent temples that adorn this ancient land. On the right side of the picture stands a square kiosk known as Pharaoh's Bed, a remarkable structure with no roof and an unfinished appearance. Despite its incomplete state, it remains one of the palace's most precious gems, dating back to Roman times. Dominating the scene is the grand Isis temple, distinguished by its large pylon-like building. Nestled nearby is a petite obelisk that once had a twin but now resides in England. These obelisks were created during Ptolemy IX's reign around 557 BC and hold great historical significance. In fact, it was precisely this monument that enabled Champollion to embark on his groundbreaking decipherment of hieroglyphics before he even encountered the famed Rosetta Stone. The photograph itself belongs to a series called "Egypt Through The Stereoscope" featuring text by James H Breasted - an expert in Egyptian history and culture. This monochrome stereoscopic card allows us to immerse ourselves in Egypt's rich architectural heritage while providing insight into its religious practices and geographical features. As we contemplate this snapshot frozen in time, we cannot help but marvel at how it transports us back centuries ago when these temples stood tall amidst Egypt's breathtaking Nile Valley landscape.
