This photograph, taken by Ethel Davies in 1984, showcases the breathtaking Temple of Kom Ombo in Egypt. Dating back to the Ptolemaic period, around 200-50 BC, with later Roman additions, this ancient temple is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of Egypt. Located near Aswan, the Temple of Kom Ombo is renowned for its unique double sanctuary, dedicated to the gods Sobek and Haroeris. The intricately carved columns, adorned with hieroglyphs and figures, reflect the religious and scientific beliefs of the ancient Egyptians. The sunlit scene captured by Ethel Davies highlights the vibrant colors and details of the temple's columns, which depict various aspects of the solar system and the sun god Ra. The sun's rays illuminate the temple, adding an ethereal quality to the already awe-inspiring structures. As we gaze upon this image from the 1980s, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate the wonders of ancient Egypt and the intricate details of its history. The Temple of Kom Ombo stands as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Mizraim, a civilization that left an indelible mark on the world through its religious, scientific, and artistic achievements.
