EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Obelisk of Queen Hatshepsut, standing tall and proud within the Temple of Amun in Karnak, Egypt. Dating back to approximately 1503-1483 BC during the New Kingdom era, this ancient monument holds immense historical significance. Queen Hatshepsut, a remarkable monarch who co-reigned alongside Tuthmosis III, left an indelible mark on Egyptian history. This obelisk serves as a testament to her power and influence. Its towering presence symbolizes not only her authority but also the religious devotion that characterized ancient Egyptian society. The intricate stone carvings adorning the obelisk's surface depict sacred inscriptions dedicated to Amun-Re, one of Egypt's most revered deities. As sunlight bathes this architectural marvel in its golden glow, it creates a breathtaking spectacle for all those fortunate enough to witness it. Located within the grand Temple of Amun at Karnak, this shrine served as a focal point for religious ceremonies and worship. The vibrant colors preserved over centuries add depth and richness to this extraordinary piece of architecture. As we gaze upon this photograph captured by CM Dixon with awe-inspiring precision, we are transported back in time to an era when gods were worshipped fervently and queens ruled with grace and strength. It is through such visual treasures that we can appreciate Egypt's rich cultural heritage and marvel at its enduring legacy.
