EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving showcases the head of Ramses II's mummy, a remarkable artwork that offers us a glimpse into the powerful ruler's ancient past. Ramses II, also known as Ramses the Great, was an influential pharaoh who reigned over Egypt during the Nineteenth Dynasty from 1279 to 1213 BC. Widely regarded as one of history's most celebrated and powerful leaders, his legacy continues to fascinate archaeologists and historians alike. In this black and white illustration, we witness the profile of a male figure whose identity has been preserved through meticulous mummification techniques. The intricate details captured in this engraving highlight both the skill of its creator and the significance of preserving such historical artifacts. As we contemplate this image, it is impossible not to be transported back in time to an era when Ramses II ruled with authority over ancient Egypt. This piece serves as a testament to human ingenuity in unraveling our past through archaeological discoveries. The unwrapped head of Ramses II invites us to reflect on our shared human history while reminding us that even great rulers eventually succumb to mortality. It stands as a symbol of reverence for those who came before us and left an indelible mark on civilization.
