EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the ancient city of Thebes, now known as Luxor, Egypt. Standing tall and majestic is the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahri, a true testament to the grandeur and architectural brilliance of the past. In this particular image, our focus is drawn towards a magnificent pillar adorned with intricate reliefs. Here we witness the god-falcon Horus represented in all his glory, wearing a double crown that symbolizes his divine power and authority. The attention to detail is awe-inspiring; every feather on Horus's wings seems to come alive under the warm Egyptian sun. As we delve deeper into this masterpiece, we notice Wadjet accompanying Horus in relief form. Wadjet was an important protective deity associated with royalty and often depicted alongside powerful gods like Horus. Together they embody strength and guardianship over Egypt's ancient civilization. The UNESCO World Heritage Site designation bestowed upon this temple complex further emphasizes its historical significance and cultural value for humanity. It serves as a reminder of Egypt's glorious past during the New Kingdom era under the 18th Dynasty. This photograph beautifully captures not only the architectural marvels but also transports us into a world where gods walked among mortals. It invites us to explore these remnants of an extraordinary civilization that still stand proudly against time's relentless march – an invitation no history enthusiast or traveler can resist.
