EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Ethel Davies in 1984, transports us back in time to the Temple of Karnak in Luxor, Egypt. Dating from 2000 BC to 30 BC, this complex of ancient religious and secular buildings is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of Egypt's past. The image showcases the breathtaking Hall of Columns, adorned with intricately enscribed pillars. The columns, standing tall and proud, are covered in hieroglyphics, the ancient Egyptian writing system. The hieroglyphs, with their unique symbols and patterns, tell the stories of the gods and pharaohs, offering a glimpse into the beliefs and traditions of this ancient civilization. The indoor setting of the Hall of Columns creates a sense of intimacy, despite the grandiosity of the space. The columns, bathed in soft light, seem to stretch up to the ceiling, creating a sense of awe and wonder. The colors and hues of the photograph add to the overall effect, bringing the ancient site to life and making it feel as if we are right there, in the heart of Egypt. The Temple of Karnak, also known as the Temple of Amun, is located in Thebes, the ancient capital city of Egypt. It is a must-see destination for anyone interested in history, culture, and the mysteries of the ancient world. This photograph by Ethel Davies offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of ancient Egyptian civilization.
