EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the awe-inspiring beauty of the Temple of Hatshepsut at Dayr al-Bahri in Egypt, with its golden limestone façade standing in stark contrast against the desert backdrop. Built during the 15th century BCE, this ancient Egyptian temple is dedicated to the pharaoh Hatshepsut, one of the few female rulers in Egyptian history. The temple's unique design, featuring a series of terraces and colonnades, is a testament to the architectural prowess of the ancient Egyptians. In the background, the distant mountains and barren landscape serve as a poignant reminder of the harsh desert conditions that the ancient civilization had to contend with. The temple's intricate carvings and hieroglyphics, which depict various scenes from Hatshepsut's reign, add to its historical significance. The photograph also includes a subtle nod to the cultural connections between Egypt and Sri Lanka, with the Dambulla Cave Temple in Sri Lanka, also known as the Golden Temple of Dambulla, visible in the top left corner. This Buddhist temple complex, famous for its intricate cave paintings and statues, shares a similar golden hue with the Egyptian temple, creating an intriguing visual juxtaposition. This photograph is a celebration of the rich cultural heritage of both Africa and Asia, showcasing the golden temples that have stood the test of time and continue to inspire awe and wonder in visitors from around the world.
