EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of the Granite sarcophagus of Ramses III, a remarkable artifact from ancient Egyptian civilization. Standing at an impressive height of 180 cm, this masterpiece was discovered in the Valley of the Kings in West Thebes. The focus of this particular detail is on Isis, an important Egyptian goddess, depicted in a kneeling position with her wings elegantly spread out. She is surrounded by hieroglyphs that form part of the sacred text known as the Book of Gates. This religious scripture held great significance for Egyptians during the New Kingdom period. The craftsmanship and artistry displayed on this granite sarcophagus are truly awe-inspiring. Every curve and line has been meticulously carved to create a stunning bas relief that brings forth a sense of reverence for ancient history. As we gaze upon this square image, we are transported back in time to witness human representation through art and craft. It serves as a powerful reminder of Egypt's rich cultural heritage and its deep-rooted connection to religion. In this photograph taken indoors, there are no people present, allowing us to fully appreciate every intricate detail without distraction. This extraordinary piece offers us a glimpse into ancient Egyptian culture and reminds us how their beliefs shaped their lives thousands of years ago.
