EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us on a journey back in time to the ancient civilization of Egypt. The image showcases the West Arcade of the Temple of Isis-Hathor, located on Agilkia Island in Aswan. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this temple dates back to the 2nd century A. D. , standing as a testament to the rich history and architectural prowess of ancient Egypt. The arcade is an impressive sight, with its rows of majestic columns forming a colonnade that stretches into the horizon. The ruins stand proudly against the backdrop of a clear blue sky, reminding us of their enduring significance even after centuries have passed. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but be transported to another era - one where pharaohs ruled and gods were worshipped within these sacred walls. The absence of people allows us to fully appreciate the grandeur and tranquility that emanates from this place. Agilkia Island itself adds another layer of intrigue to this scene. Situated near Philae Island, it became home to several relocated temples when Lake Nasser was created due to damming projects in the 20th century. In summary, this print captures not only an architectural marvel but also serves as a window into our past. It invites us to explore and immerse ourselves in Egypt's fascinating history while appreciating its timeless beauty.
