Although attributed to an unidentified author from Alinari – one cannot deny their skillful composition capturing every intricate detail with precision. This print stands as a testament to their artistry while preserving an invaluable slice of our collective heritage.

Let it inspire awe for those who came before us and ignite curiosity about our shared past – inviting us all to explore further into Egypt's fascinating history beyond what meets the eye.
