Across the plain of Thebes and past the Memnon statues from the cliffs, Egypt, 1905. Artist: Underwood & Underwood
Across the plain of Thebes and past the Memnon statues from the cliffs, Egypt, 1905. The city which once stood below us rose to a splendour and magnificence unknown before. Laden with the spoils of Asia and Nubia, the conquerors of the eighteenth and nineteenth dynasties returned to this lovely, cliff-encircled plain to adorn it with the mightiest temples that have ever risen by human hands. It was with the invasion of the Assyrians in the seventh century BC that its colossal temples fell a prey to fire and sword. Stereoscopic card. Detail. From a series called Egypt Through the Stereoscope, text by James H Breasted

EDITORS COMMENTS
Across the plain of Thebes and past the Memnon statues from the cliffs, Egypt, 1905. This print takes us back in time to a land steeped in ancient splendor. As we gaze upon the vast desert landscape, our eyes are drawn to the magnificent city that once stood below us. In its heyday, this city was adorned with temples so mighty that they were unparalleled in human history. The conquerors of dynasties past returned here laden with treasures from Asia and Nubia, leaving behind a legacy of grandeur that still echoes through time. However, as history often tells us tales of conquest and destruction, it was during an invasion by the Assyrians in the seventh century BC that these colossal temples fell victim to fire and sword. Yet even in ruins, their majesty is undeniable. Sitting amidst this breathtaking scenery are people who seem small against the backdrop of sand dunes and towering statues. Their presence reminds us of both our insignificance compared to ancient civilizations and our enduring connection to this timeless land. This stereoscopic card captures not only a moment frozen in time but also invites us into a world where imagination meets reality. It transports us back to an era when Egypt's wonders were at their peak – a testament to human creativity and ambition.
