EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts a significant moment in the ancient Egyptian New Kingdom's Twentieth Dynasty, during the reign of Pharaoh Ramses III (1186-1155 BC). The Temple of Ramses III at Medinet Habu, located in Thebes, is the backdrop for this intriguing scene. Intricately carved into the temple's polychrome relief, officials are meticulously counting the severed hands of enemies killed in action. This inventory was taken to determine the casualties in the enemy ranks, providing valuable information for military strategy and victory records. The hieroglyphic inscriptions surrounding the scene further enhance its historical significance. The hieroglyphs describe the military campaign, detailing the names of the enemy lands and their leaders, as well as the triumphant victories of Ramses III's forces. The use of hieroglyphics, an essential aspect of ancient Egyptian writing and art, adds to the temple's rich cultural heritage. The Temple of Ramses III is a testament to the grandeur and power of the ancient Egyptian Empire. The temple's walls are adorned with numerous reliefs, showcasing various aspects of Egyptian life, religion, and military prowess.
