EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the tallest obelisk in Egypt, standing proudly within the temple at Karnak, Thebes. Taken in 1905 by Underwood & Underwood, this image captures the grandeur and magnificence of ancient Egyptian architecture. At a towering height of 97.5 feet and with a base measuring 8.5 feet square, this obelisk is hailed as the largest in all of Egypt. It was erected by Thutmosis' daughter Makere, also known as Hatshepsut or Hatasoo, adding to its historical significance. The photograph provides a detailed view of this remarkable structure through stereoscopic photography. As part of the series "Egypt Through the Stereoscope" curated by James H Breasted, it offers viewers an immersive experience that transports them back to ancient times. Intriguingly monochrome yet rich in detail, this image invites us to explore not only the physical aspects but also the religious and cultural significance associated with such temples. The debris scattered around serves as a reminder of time's passage and adds an element of authenticity to this snapshot from history. As we gaze upon this print from Heritage Images, we are reminded once again of Egypt's enduring allure and its profound impact on human civilization throughout centuries past.
