EDITORS COMMENTS
In this ancient image, we witness a pivotal moment in the history of the Achaemenid Persian Empire under the rule of Cambyses II (525-522 BC). The Persian king, depicted here in regal attire, stands triumphantly over the fallen body of the sacred Apis bull of Memphis, the revered symbol of the god Ptah in ancient Egypt. The event, which took place around 525 BC, marked a significant affront to the Egyptian people and their religious beliefs. Cambyses II, the son of King Smerdis I, had recently conquered Egypt and sought to assert his authority over the region. However, his actions towards the sacred Apis bull would prove to be a grave mistake. According to historical accounts, Cambyses II ordered the bull to be slain, either out of curiosity or as a display of power. The news of this desecration spread quickly, causing widespread outrage among the Egyptian population and tarnishing Cambyses II's reputation. The image captures the tension and historical significance of this moment, with Cambyses II standing proudly over the fallen bull while Egyptian attendants look on in shock and disbelief. The event would go down in history as a symbol of the cultural clashes between the Persian and Egyptian civilizations, and the challenges of ruling over a diverse and complex empire. This photograph print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the historical events that shaped the ancient world. The image is a testament to the rich and complex history of the Achaemenid Persian Empire and the challenges faced by its rulers in managing a vast and culturally diverse realm.
