EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the ancient city of Ombos, Egypt, circa 1875. The image showcases the remarkable ruins of the Temple of Sobek and Haroeris, which date back to the 2nd century B. C. Situated on the banks of the majestic Nile River, approximately 50 kilometers north of Aswan, these archaeological remains offer a glimpse into Egypt's rich history. The photograph captures the exterior view of this magnificent temple with its Corinthian architecture standing tall against time's relentless passage. The sepia tones lend an air of nostalgia and enhance our appreciation for this iron age marvel. Men can be seen exploring and admiring these awe-inspiring ruins, their presence emphasizing both their scale and significance. Dedicated to two deities - Sobek and Haroeris - this sacred site was once a hub for religious ceremonies and rituals. Sobek was worshipped as a crocodile deity while Haroeris represented strength and power. This convergence of divine energies made it an important spiritual center in ancient Egyptian culture. As we delve into this historical snapshot from The Granger Collection's archives, we are reminded that even in ruinous states, these remnants continue to inspire wonderment among those who encounter them today. This print serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with ancient civilizations and their architectural achievements – reminding us that our past is intricately woven into our present-day existence.
