EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide image transports us back in time to the ancient wonders of Egypt during the early 1900s. The Temple of Queen Nefertari, located in Abu Simbel on the western bank of the Nile River in the Nubia area, is the focus of this breathtaking photograph. Queen Nefertari, one of Pharaoh Ramses II's favorite wives, is celebrated for her beauty and power, and her temple is a testament to her status. The image captures the temple's grandeur as it appears from the deck of a moving boat on the tranquil Nile. The temple's massive sandstone structures, intricately carved with hieroglyphics and images of gods, rise majestically from the desert landscape. The sun casts a warm glow over the temple, illuminating its intricate details and adding an ethereal quality to the scene. The Temple of Queen Nefertari was built around 1254 BC as part of a larger complex dedicated to Ramses II and his god Ra-Horakhty. The temple's design reflects the architectural and artistic achievements of the New Kingdom period, showcasing the Egyptians' mastery of engineering and their deep connection to their gods and their history. This lantern slide image offers a unique perspective of this ancient wonder, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and significance from a different angle. The image invites us to imagine the journey of the early explorers and travelers who ventured to Egypt to discover its treasures and marvel at its history.
