EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mummified body of Ramesses II, a prominent figure in ancient Egyptian history. Dating back to 1304-1237 BC, this remarkable discovery was made in a tomb at Deir al-Bahri and is now housed in the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo. The image captures the face of this once mighty pharaoh, preserved through the meticulous process of embalming and mummification. The withered remains tell a tale of an era long gone, offering us a glimpse into the rituals and beliefs surrounding death and the afterlife during that time. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back thousands of years to witness firsthand the incredible archaeological find. The intricate details on his regal attire remind us of Ramesses II's status as king, while also highlighting the skillful craftsmanship prevalent during Egypt's 19th Dynasty. It is both awe-inspiring and humbling to contemplate how this male figure ruled over one of history's most prosperous civilizations. This photograph serves as a testament to human curiosity and our unyielding desire to uncover our past. Through photography, we are able to preserve these invaluable artifacts for future generations to appreciate and learn from. Bridgeman Images has captured not only an extraordinary moment frozen in time but also offers us an opportunity for reflection on our own mortality amidst ancient wonders.
