EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to ancient Egypt, specifically to the awe-inspiring Valley of Kings in Thebes. Standing tall against the backdrop of majestic mountains, we are greeted by the imposing statues of Amenhotep III, also known as the Colossi of Memnon. These colossal figures, dating back to the New Kingdom period between 1580-1085 BC and belonging to the 18th dynasty, have witnessed centuries of history unfold. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this snapshot encapsulates not only the grandeur and magnificence of ancient Egyptian culture but also its enduring legacy. The vivid colors captured in this image bring life to these stone representations that were once vibrant with paint and adorned with intricate details. As we gaze upon these male likenesses carved into rock, we can't help but feel a sense of wonder at their sheer size and craftsmanship. They stand as a testament to human ingenuity and artistic prowess that has stood the test of time. In this moment frozen in eternity, devoid of any modern presence or human activity, we are transported back thousands of years ago when pharaohs ruled over Egypt's rich civilization. This photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst devastation caused by natural forces or passing centuries, fragments from our past continue to captivate us with their enigmatic beauty.
