EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring Nubian monuments at Abu Simbel, a testament to Egypt's ancient civilization. Standing proudly against the backdrop of Lake Nasser, the Great Temple of Ramses II dominates the scene with its majestic presence. The barren desert surrounding this archaeological wonder adds an air of mystery and intrigue. Carved with meticulous detail, these damaged yet resilient structures tell stories of pharaohs and gods from a bygone era. The intricate carvings depict Hathor, the goddess of love and joy, among other symbols deeply rooted in Egyptian religion and history. As we gaze upon this horizontal image on a clear day, it becomes evident why Abu Simbel is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. Built during the 19th dynasty in ancient Egypt's New Kingdom period, this building exterior now stands as an old ruin that still commands respect and admiration. The high angle view allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship but also the vastness of Lake Nasser stretching towards the horizon over water. This international landmark beckons travelers from around the world to witness firsthand artistry that transcends time. Immersed in ancient Egyptian culture, this print transports us back to a distant past where human representation merged seamlessly with architectural marvels. With no people present in sight, we are left alone to ponder upon our place within history itself
