EDITORS COMMENTS
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. As we gaze upon this relic from centuries past, we can't help but marvel at its grandeur and historical significance. Located in Luxor, formerly known as Thebes, this archaeological site is a treasure trove for those fascinated by ancient civilizations. Bonfils' masterful use of monochrome adds an air of timelessness to his artistry, allowing us to transport ourselves back in time and imagine what life was like during these ancient times. This remarkable photograph serves as both a visual feast for our eyes and a valuable historical document that preserves moments from Egypt's rich heritage. Through Bonfils' lens, we are transported on a journey through time - witnessing not only stunning architecture but also glimpses into the beliefs and culture of an extraordinary civilization that continues to
