EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the colossal statue of Rameses II, a remarkable piece of ancient Egyptian art located at the Temple of Abu Simbel in Egypt. Dating back to the 13th century BC, this awe-inspiring sculpture is a detailed depiction of one of the four giant statues that flank the entrance to the temple. Rameses II, also known as Ramses II or Ramesses the Great, reigned for an impressive 66 years from 1279-1213 BC and was renowned for his extensive temple construction projects. The photograph beautifully captures every intricate detail of this magnificent sandstone statue. From its majestic seated position to its regal bearded face and body adorned with vibrant colors, it exudes power and authority. As a religious symbol, Rameses II represents both Amun-Re and Re-Horakhty – two significant gods in ancient Egyptian mythology. Notably, Rameses II holds a special place in history as he has more statues dedicated to him than any other pharaoh. This print serves as a testament to his enduring legacy and royal stature. With its archaeological significance and artistic brilliance preserved through time, this print offers viewers an opportunity to marvel at the grandeur and craftsmanship of ancient Egypt's rich cultural heritage.
