EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning mural from the tombs of the Kings of Thebes, discovered by the renowned Italian explorer and antiquity hunter, Giovanni Battista Belzoni. Belzoni's archaeological finds in Egypt during the early 19th century were instrumental in unraveling the mysteries of this ancient civilization. Plate 2 from "Plates Illustrative of the Researches in Egypt and Nubia" by Giovanni Battista Belzoni, this lithograph beautifully captures an array of symbols and imagery that hold great historical significance. The mural depicts various elements such as birds, including falcons and ibises with outstretched wings, which were revered as religious symbols in Egyptian culture. Hieroglyphics adorn the walls, showcasing their intricate writing system that served both practical and sacred purposes. The location is identified as Karnak near Luxor, where these majestic tombs stood as mausoleums for pharaohs who once ruled over Thebes. A cartouche can be seen within the artwork, representing royal names written inside an oval shape to protect them from evil forces. This print not only offers a glimpse into ancient burial practices but also serves as a testament to Belzoni's groundbreaking discoveries that continue to fascinate archaeologists and historians today. It stands as a remarkable piece from our Historica Graphica Collection, preserving Egypt's rich cultural heritage for generations to come.
