EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the fallen statue of Rameses II, a colossal figure of ancient Egyptian history, lying in the Great Temple of Ptah at Mit-Rahina near Memphis, Egypt. The statue, carved from red granite, once stood tall and proud, paying homage to the Pharaoh Rameses II, one of Egypt's most powerful rulers who reigned during the 19th Dynasty around 1279-1213 BC. The fallen statue, which dates back to the early 20th century, is a testament to the passage of time and the enduring allure of Egypt's rich history. Rameses II, depicted with his arms crossed over his chest, was a giant of a man, both in real life and in stone, standing over 11 feet tall. The intricate carvings on the statue, which include palm trees and other decorative elements, showcase the skill and artistry of ancient Egyptian craftsmen. The statue once stood in the Great Temple of Ptah, a significant religious site dedicated to the god Ptah, the deity of craftsmen and artisans. The temple, which dates back to around 660 BC, is a remarkable example of ancient Egyptian architecture and is a popular tourist destination today. The fallen statue of Rameses II was discovered in 1820 by Giovanni Battista Caviglia, an Italian engineer and archaeologist, during his exploration of the temple complex. The image of the fallen statue, with its intricate carvings and the palm tree in the foreground, offers a glimpse into Egypt's ancient past and the awe-inspiring legacy of its Pharaohs.
