EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Louqsor. Pylone et obelisque du Grand Temple; Le Nord-Est Africain," was created in 1914. The image is from the renowned French publication "Grande Geographie Universelle Illustree," and the creator remains unknown. The photograph captures the grandeur and mystery of ancient Egypt, specifically the Temple of Luxor in Thebes, also known as Louqsor. The image showcases the impressive pylons and the obelisk of the Grand Temple, standing proudly against the backdrop of the Nile Valley. The Temple of Luxor is a significant archaeological site, showcasing the ancient Egyptian architectural brilliance and their deep connection with their religion. The obelisk, a tall, four-sided pillar with a pyramidion on top, is a common feature in ancient Egyptian architecture, often used as a symbol of the pharaoh's power and the gods' favor. The pylons, massive gateways, are adorned with intricate carvings and hieroglyphs, reflecting the religious and cultural significance of the temple. The Temple of Luxor was dedicated to the Theban Triad - Amun, Mut, and Khonsu - and was a place of worship for ancient Egyptians. This photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the rich history and beauty of ancient Egypt. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of Egypt's ancient ruins and the importance of archaeological exploration in understanding our past.
