EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a dolerite relief from the Late Period of Egyptian civilization, specifically Dynasty XXX. The relief depicts Nectanebo I, an ancient king, offering gifts to a fearsome demon at the temple of Atum in Heliopolis. Measuring 90x98 cm and displayed in full length, this bas-relief provides a side view of the scene. The image transports us back to the ancient world as we witness Nectanebo I kneeling before the demon with reverence. Holding his offerings in hand, he demonstrates his devotion and loyalty to both religion and his people. A majestic lion stands nearby, symbolizing power and strength. Hieroglyphs adorn the background, adding an air of mystery and emphasizing the significance of this religious offering. The repetition of these symbols further highlights their importance within Egyptian culture. As we delve into history through this photograph, it becomes evident that only men are present in this depiction along with one animal representation - reinforcing gender roles prevalent during that era. Dating back to the 4th century BC during Egypt's late period under Dynasty XXX, this relic serves as a testament to our fascination with ancient antiquities. It offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when pharaohs ruled over vast lands and religion played an integral role in society
