EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning mural painting, discovered in the Tomb of Pashed in Dayr al-Bahri, Egypt's Valley of the Artisans, dates back to the New Kingdom period between 1306 and 1290 BC. The vertical, upright image showcases the Eye of Horus (Wadjet), an ancient Egyptian symbol of protection and royal power from deities. The Eye, depicted as a stylized representation of a falcon's eye, is surrounded by intricate hieroglyphics and adorned with a crown. The scene is painted in vibrant colors, capturing the essence of the daylight that once illuminated the tomb's exterior during daytime. The mural's exterior location, a common feature of tombs in the Valley of the Artisans, allowed the painting to be bathed in sunlight, enhancing its beauty and preserving its colors. The people of ancient Egypt, including the Quena, were deeply spiritual and believed that the Eye of Horus would protect their pharaohs and ensure their prosperity and power. This painting, with its powerful symbolism and captivating artwork, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and artistic achievements of the Egyptian civilization. The Tomb of Pashed, located in the Valley of the Artisans, is a significant archaeological site in Africa, showcasing the artistic and historical significance of the Egyptian Empire during the New Kingdom period. The mural's intricate details and vivid colors continue to captivate viewers, offering a glimpse into the ancient world and the beliefs that shaped it.
