EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: The Revered Guardian: Statue of God Sebiumeker from Meroe, Sudan, Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen, Denmark The Statue of God Sebiumeker, a revered deity in ancient Nubian mythology, is a remarkable sandstone sculpture dating back to the 1st century BC. Discovered in Meroe, Sudan, this artifact now resides in the esteemed Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, Denmark. The statue portrays Sebiumeker, the Meroitic god believed to be a guardian of the kingdom and a false god, with an imposing presence. He is depicted as a bearded man, barefooted, and clad in traditional Egyptian-influenced clothing. The intricate relief carvings on the statue reveal his divine attributes, including the solar disc and uraeus snake on his head, symbolizing his connection to the sun and the Nile. As a guardian deity, Sebiumeker was believed to protect the Meroitic people and their kingdom. His image was often displayed in temples and royal palaces as a symbol of power and prosperity. The statue's discovery in Meroe, an ancient Nubian city, provides valuable insights into the rich cultural exchange between Egypt and Nubia during the ancient age. The Statue of God Sebiumeker is a testament to the artistic and religious traditions of the ancient Nubians. Its intricate details and powerful presence continue to captivate visitors to the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, offering a glimpse into the mythology and history of this fascinating civilization. The statue's journey from Meroe to Copenhagen is a reminder of the enduring legacy of ancient civilizations and the importance of preserving and studying their art and cultural heritage. Today, the Statue of God Sebiumeker stands as a symbol of the interconnectedness of human history and the shared human experience.
