EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print showcases the Colossal Statue of Ramses II, a remarkable piece of Egyptian art from the New Kingdom period, around the 13th century BC. The statue, which is housed in Mit Rahina, an ancient site located in the outskirts of Memphis, Egypt, is a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the Egyptian civilization. Ramses II, also known as Ramses the Great, was one of the most powerful pharaohs of the New Kingdom, reigning for over 66 years. He is renowned for his military conquests and his grand building projects, including the construction of temples and monuments. This colossal statue, carved from sandstone, stands over 11 feet tall and depicts Ramses II in a seated position, wearing the crown of Upper and Lower Egypt and holding the symbolic Ankh of life. The intricate details of the statue's features, from the furrowed brow to the delicate folds of the royal garments, reveal the skill and artistry of the ancient Egyptian sculptors. The statue's colorful interior, which is not often seen in photographs, adds an extra layer of depth and complexity to the already impressive exterior. The interior walls are adorned with hieroglyphics and intricate carvings, further emphasizing the importance of writing and the written word in ancient Egyptian culture. The Colossal Statue of Ramses II is a reminder of the rich history and artistic achievements of ancient Egypt. It stands as a symbol of the enduring legacy of the Egyptian civilization and continues to captivate and inspire visitors to this day.
