EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1847, showcases the magnificent tops of the decorated columns of the Portico of the Ptolemaic Temple of Horus at Edfu, Egypt. The temple, dedicated to the falcon god Horus, is an architectural marvel of ancient Egyptian religion and history. The massive columns, rising majestically from the enveloping desert sands, have stood the test of time, despite being partially buried. Edfu, also known as Edfou, is located on the west bank of the Nile River, about 60 kilometers north of Aswan. The temple, built during the Ptolemaic period, is considered one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt. Its intricate carvings and hieroglyphics depict various mythological scenes, reflecting the ancient Egyptians' deep connection to their gods and their belief in the pharaohs as divine rulers. The photograph, taken over 170 years ago, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when these magnificent structures were still largely untouched by modern civilization. The desert sands, which now envelop the temple, have preserved it, allowing us to marvel at the intricacies of ancient Egyptian architecture and the richness of their religious beliefs. The Temple of Horus at Edfu is a testament to the ingenuity and artistic prowess of the ancient Egyptians. Its preservation is a reminder of the importance of archaeology in uncovering the secrets of the past and understanding the historical significance of ancient civilizations.
