EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the grandeur and mystique of ancient Egypt, specifically the Temple of Ramses III in Medinet-Habu, Thebes. Dating back to the New Kingdom period, around 1550-1069 BC, this temple is a testament to the power and wealth of the Egyptian Empire during the Twentieth Dynasty. The image reveals the colossal statues of Pharaoh Ramses III, deified as the god Osiris. The deification of Ramses III was a common practice among Egyptian pharaohs, who believed they were divine and could assume the form of various gods. In this case, Ramses III is depicted as Osiris, the god of the afterlife, fertility, and the Nile. The statues are attached to pillars, which are intricately sculpted with reliefs that illustrate various aspects of Egyptian mythology and the Pharaoh's reign. The colossal figures of Ramses III, each holding a flail, symbolize his role as a provider and protector of his people. The Temple of Ramses III is a significant historical site, offering valuable insights into the religious and political beliefs of ancient Egypt. Its well-preserved state allows us to appreciate the artistic and architectural achievements of the New Kingdom and the Egyptian civilization as a whole.
