EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the ancient Egyptian civilization, specifically to the Middle Kingdom during Dynasty XII. It showcases a remarkable bas-relief carving found in the tomb of King Sesostris I at Karnak. The focal point of this artwork is none other than King Sesostris I himself, depicted alongside the powerful deity Ptah. The image portrays an extraordinary face-to-face encounter between the mortal king and his divine counterpart. Both figures are meticulously carved with incredible detail, showcasing their regal features and adorned attire. The king stands shirtless, donning traditional Egyptian jewelry and holding an Ankh symbolizing life in one hand while respectfully facing Ptah. Ptah, a significant god in ancient Egyptian religion associated with creation and craftsmanship, is portrayed wearing his distinctive headdress and holding a staff known as a scepter. This mesmerizing depiction highlights not only the religious beliefs but also the artistic skills prevalent during that era. As we delve into this piece of history frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at its preservation despite being over four millennia old. This photograph allows us to appreciate Egypt's rich cultural heritage by capturing an international landmark like Karnak Temple through artistry that has stood strong throughout centuries
