EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the magnificent Entrance Pylon of Ramesses II at the Luxor Temple in Upper Egypt, a testament to the grandeur and power of Ancient Egyptian civilization. Dating back to circa 1400 BC, the temple complex of Luxor was extended over the centuries by various pharaohs, with Ramesses II leaving a lasting impression with his impressive entranceway. The side view of the pylon reveals the towering statues of Ramesses II and his queen Nefertari, their regal figures carved from sandstone, standing proudly before the entrance. Atop the pylon, the obelisk of Ramesses II, with its pyramidion reaching towards the heavens, adds to the imposing presence of the structure. The Luxor Temple, also known as the Southern Sanctuary, was dedicated to the Theban Triad - Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. The complex, which was founded during the New Kingdom period, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is considered one of the most impressive ancient Egyptian temples. Despite the passage of time, the entrance pylon of Ramesses II remains a powerful symbol of ancient Egyptian culture and the enduring legacy of its kings. The ruined temples and obelisks of Thebes, including the Temple of Luxor, continue to draw visitors from around the world, inspiring awe and wonder at the ingenuity and artistry of the ancient civilization.
