EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage image of the Temple of Seti 1 in Abydos, Egypt. Dating back to the 13th century BCE, this ancient monument is a testament to the grandeur and complexity of ancient Egyptian civilization. Seti I, the Pharaoh who commissioned the temple, is depicted in the relief carvings as a divine ruler, connected to the gods through his association with the god Set. The Temple of Seti 1 is a masterpiece of ancient Egyptian architecture, with its intricate reliefs, towering columns, and ornate decorations. The image captures the temple in all its glory, bathed in the soft, warm light of a lantern or early photographic process. The use of a lantern or early photographic technique adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the image, transporting us back to a time when exploration and discovery were at the forefront of human endeavor. The Victorian or Edwardian era, during which this photograph was likely taken, was a time of great fascination with the ancient world. Travelers and scholars flocked to Egypt to uncover its secrets, and the Temple of Seti 1 was no exception. This image serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of ancient Egypt and the important role that exploration and discovery continue to play in our understanding of the world and its history. The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, from which this image is taken, is a valuable resource for historians, archaeologists, and anyone with an interest in the ancient world. Each photograph in the collection offers a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to see and learn about the world as it was in a bygone era.
