This print showcases the remarkable Turin Papyrus Map, an invaluable artifact from ancient Egyptian civilization. Dating back to Dynasty XIX of the New Kingdom, this meticulously crafted map depicts the course of Wadi Hammamat between the Nile Valley and the Red Sea. The intricate details etched onto papyrus reveal a deep understanding of cartography in ancient times. In this studio shot, we are presented with a vertical view of the map that highlights its rich historical significance.
