EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Obelisk of Queen Hatshepsut, located in the Temple of Amun at Karnak, Egypt. Dating back to approximately 1503 - 1483 BC during the New Kingdom period, this ancient Egyptian architectural marvel stands as a testament to the country's rich history and religious beliefs. The obelisk, adorned with vibrant colors and intricate inscriptions, serves as an entrance to the temple dedicated to Amun-Re, one of Egypt's most revered gods. As a symbol of power and divinity, it represents both the king or pharaoh and their connection to the sun god Ra. Queen Hatshepsut reigned alongside Tuthmosis III during this time period. Her reign marked a significant era for Egypt as she became one of its few female pharaohs. The obelisk not only reflects her sovereignty but also highlights her devotion to religion and her role as a divine monarch. Surrounded by awe-inspiring stone structures and bathed in warm sunshine, this photo captures both the grandeur of ancient Egyptian architecture and its profound spiritual significance. It transports viewers back in time, allowing them to appreciate the remarkable achievements of this civilization that thrived thousands of years ago. As we gaze upon this image from Heritage Images captured by CM Dixon, we are reminded of Egypt's enduring legacy as a cradle for science, astronomy, artistry, and religious devotion – all encapsulated within these magnificent ruins found in Luxor's Karnak Temple
