EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring Rock-Temples at Abousimbel, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Carved during the 13th century BC in the reign of Ramesses II from the 19th dynasty, these temples were built as a memorial to honor the Pharaoh and his beloved wife, Nefertari. The colossal size of these rock-temples is truly remarkable, leaving viewers in awe of their grandeur. The intricate details carved into the stone walls depict scenes from ancient Egyptian history and mythology, offering a glimpse into this fascinating civilization's rich culture. The unknown creator of this photograph perfectly captures both the scale and majesty of these temples. The monochrome effect adds an air of timelessness to the image, transporting us back to ancient Egypt. As we gaze upon this portrait-like representation, we can't help but wonder about those who once walked through these hallowed halls. This snapshot serves as a testament to human ingenuity and artistic prowess that has stood strong for centuries. Thanks to Edmund Ollier's book "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" published in 1890 by Cassell and Company Ltd. , we are able to appreciate this historical treasure even today. It reminds us that despite being separated by thousands of years, our connection with past civilizations remains unbroken through art and heritage.
