EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the ancient Egyptian goddess Nekhbet, depicted as a vulture with outstretched wings, protecting the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari during the 18th Dynasty of the New Kingdom in Egypt. The intricately carved polychrome relief on the temple wall portrays Nekhbet, the goddess of protection, mother goddess, and patroness of Thebes, in her mythological form. With her powerful wings spread wide, she symbolizes safety and security, offering her divine blessings to the temple and its inhabitants. Nekhbet's vulture form is adorned with a crown bearing the symbol of the desert oasis, Wadjet, signifying her connection to the land and its fertility. The goddess is also shown with a serpent or a cobra on her head, representing the goddess Wadjet in her other form. The combination of the vulture and the serpent symbolizes the dual nature of Nekhbet, as both a protector and a destroyer. The Temple of Hatshepsut, dedicated to the pharaoh Hatshepsut, is renowned for its unique architectural design and stunning artwork. The temple complex, located on the west bank of the Nile, was built during the New Kingdom and is a testament to the grandeur and artistic achievements of ancient Egypt. The polychrome relief of Nekhbet opening her protective wings is a standout feature of the temple, reflecting the deep reverence and devotion the ancient Egyptians held for their gods and goddesses.
