EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning relief depicts the ancient Egyptian deity Ra, the god of the sun, in his falcon form with a solar disk above his head. The intricately carved detail of this antiquated masterpiece can be found on the walls of the Temple of Horus in Edfu, Egypt. Dating back to the Ptolemaic period, around 50 BC, this temple is a remarkable testament to the rich history and religious beliefs of the Egyptian civilization. Ra, also known as Re or Atum Ra, was considered the king of the gods and the creator of the universe. He was often depicted as a falcon, symbolizing his connection to the sun and its power to renew life. The solar disk above his head represents the sun and the all-seeing eye of Ra, symbolizing his role as the god of the sun and the source of all light and life. The relief is a beautiful example of ancient Egyptian art and the skillful craftsmanship of their artists. The intricate carving on the stone wall showcases the deity's profile, with his falcon head facing forward and his body in profile, emphasizing the divine nature of the god. The relief's round shape and the smooth, polished surface add to its aesthetic appeal and historical significance. The Temple of Horus in Edfu is one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt and a must-visit destination for anyone interested in ancient history and Egyptian culture. This relief is just one of the many treasures that await visitors to this remarkable site, offering a glimpse into the ancient world and the beliefs of the people who once called Egypt home.
