EDITORS COMMENTS
Under the Protection of the Gods" is a captivating drawing by the renowned archaeologist Howard Carter, showcasing a harmonious blend of ancient and modern elements. The illustration, dated 1951, depicts a hoopoe bird nestled in the crevice of an ancient Egyptian wall adorned with intricate paintings of gods and hieroglyphics. The hoopoe, with its distinctive crest and vibrant plumage, appears both modern and out of place amidst the timeworn artwork. However, the impression given is not one of intrusion but of protection. The outstretched wings of the divine vulture Goddess Nekhbet seem to shield the hoopoe from harm, as if acknowledging the bird's presence and granting it sanctuary. Nekhbet, a significant deity in ancient Egyptian mythology, is often depicted as a vulture or a woman with the head of a vulture. Her protective role extended to the pharaohs, who believed she watched over them and kept them safe from harm. The intricate details of the ancient Egyptian paintings in the background add to the richness of the scene, with hieroglyphics and symbols of various gods and goddesses adorning the walls. The drawing, which was likely used as an illustration in a publication or a news article, offers a glimpse into the fascinating intersection of ancient and modern worlds, as well as the enduring influence of Egyptian mythology. This evocative drawing by Howard Carter, "Under the Protection of the Gods," is a testament to the timeless allure of ancient Egypt and the power of mythology to transcend the boundaries of time. It serves as a reminder of the deep connection between the past and the present, and the ongoing fascination with the mysteries of the ancient world.
