EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) takes us back in time to ancient Egypt, specifically the Saqqara Necropolis. Here, we find ourselves standing in awe before the private funerary mastaba of Kagemni, a significant figure from the Old Kingdom's 6th Dynasty. In this remarkable image, our attention is drawn to a relief within the Great Hall of Kagemni's mastaba. The intricately carved scene depicts a man engaged in an act vital for sustenance - milking a cow. This bas-relief beautifully captures an essential aspect of ancient Egyptian agriculture and their deep connection with livestock. As we explore this photograph further, we notice how every detail has been meticulously engraved into stone. The hieroglyphs surrounding the scene provide additional insight into the rich history and culture of ancient Egypt. The composition is perfectly framed horizontally, allowing us to appreciate both the artistry and craftsmanship involved in creating such masterpieces thousands of years ago. With no people present in this image, it emphasizes that these relics are remnants of a long-lost civilization that still captivate our imagination today. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, Saqqara continues to be an important destination for travelers seeking glimpses into Egypt's glorious past. Through photographs like these, we can transport ourselves back to an era when human representation through art was revered and animal symbolism held great significance. This print serves as a powerful reminder that even after millennia have passed
