Colossi of Memnon at Luxor and the Nilometer in Cairo
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating handcolored lithograph depicting two iconic landmarks of ancient Egypt: the Colossi of Memnon at Luxor and the Nilometer in Cairo. This exquisite image is taken from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, published in Meissen around 1835-1840. The Colossi of Memnon, located in the Theban Necropolis, are two massive stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III, each standing approximately 18 meters high. The statues were originally part of a grand temple complex dedicated to the Theban Triad, and have since become an enduring symbol of ancient Egyptian civilization. The Colossi are depicted in the lithograph with their original inscriptions and intricate details, making it an invaluable historical record. In the background, the Nilometer in Cairo is shown as an octagonal pillar with a cubit measure. The Nilometer was an essential structure in ancient Egypt, as the annual flooding of the Nile River was crucial for the agricultural economy. The measurement of the river level was recorded on the pillar, allowing the people to predict the flood's height and prepare accordingly. The lithograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the history, customs, and costumes of ancient Egypt, making it an essential resource for ethnography and anthropology. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the past to life, offering a captivating window into a world long gone. This masterpiece is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Egypt and the remarkable achievements of its ancient civilization.
