EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Temple of Kom Ombo, Egypt, circa 1899. The Fine Art Photographers Co beautifully captures the grandeur and intricate details of this ancient architectural marvel. The Temple of Kom Ombo is a unique structure consisting of two temples dedicated to Sobek, the crocodile god, and Haroeris, also known as Horus the Elder. It was originally built by Ptolemy VI Philometer around 191-145 BC but underwent expansions by his successors, notably Ptolemy XIII during his reign from 62-47 BC. In this stunning image, we can see the inner and outer hypostyle halls that were added during Ptolemy XIII's rule. The ruins stand tall against the Egyptian landscape, showcasing their Hellenistic influence mixed with ancient Egyptian architecture. Each column and pillar tells a story of devotion to these deities who held significant importance in ancient Egyptian religion. As we gaze upon this monochrome photograph, we are transported to a time when worshipers would gather within these sacred walls. The Temple of Kom Ombo remains an archaeological site that continues to fascinate researchers and visitors alike. This print serves as a testament to its enduring beauty and historical significance. Thanks to The Fine Art Photographers Co for preserving this remarkable piece of history for generations to come.
