Colossi Egyptian Views Extinct City Memnon Thebes

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back in time to the ancient city of Thebes, Egypt. Taken in 1900, it showcases the awe-inspiring Colossi of Memnon standing tall against a backdrop of clear blue skies and golden desert sands. These colossal statues, known as one of Egypt's most iconic landmarks, were once guardians at the entrance of Amenhotep III's mortuary temple. The sheer size and grandeur of these statues leave viewers in awe even today. Carved out of massive blocks of stone, each statue stands over 18 meters high and weighs an astonishing 720 tons. Despite their age and weathered appearance, they still emanate an air of regality that is hard to ignore. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded not only of the incredible craftsmanship that went into creating such masterpieces but also the rich history that surrounds them. Thebes itself was once a thriving city filled with temples, palaces, and tombs belonging to pharaohs who ruled during Egypt's New Kingdom period. Through this image captured by Liszt Collection, we are granted a glimpse into a world long gone – an extinct city where gods were worshipped and mighty rulers reigned supreme. It serves as a reminder that even after thousands of years have passed since its creation; art has the power to transport us across time and connect us with our ancient past.
