EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Ethel Davies in 1984, showcases the awe-inspiring Temple of Karnak in Luxor, Egypt. Dating back to 2000 BC to 30 BC, this ancient complex of religious and secular buildings is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of ancient Egypt. The image captures the colossal size and grandeur of the Temple, with its towering statues of Pharaohs and gods, including the famous figure of Rameses II, also known as Rameses the Great or Usermaatra Setepenre. The temple complex, which was dedicated to the Theban Triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu, is surrounded by palm trees, providing a striking contrast between the ancient civilization and the natural beauty of the landscape. The Temple of Karnak is a must-see destination for anyone interested in ancient history and culture. Its intricate carvings and towering structures have inspired generations of artists, writers, and thinkers, from the ancient Egyptian poets who wrote about the god Mizraim, to modern-day visitors who continue to be captivated by the mystery and wonder of this ancient place. This photograph, taken in the 1980s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Temple of Karnak stood as a symbol of the power and majesty of the ancient Egyptian civilization. As we look at this image, we can't help but be reminded of the enduring legacy of this remarkable place and the rich history it represents.
