EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print showcases the intricate and enigmatic world of ancient Egyptian art, specifically the Temple of Kom Ombo from the Ptolemaic Dynasty, dating back to the 2nd century BC. The temple, dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek and the falcon god Haroeris, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and advanced civilization that thrived in Egypt during this period. The relief depicted in the print is adorned with Egyptian hieroglyphs, an ancient writing system that was used for various purposes, including religious texts, administrative records, and personal inscriptions. The hieroglyphic scripture is a visual language that consists of a collection of signs and symbols, each representing a word or a sound. The hieroglyphs in this relief are meticulously carved, revealing the skill and artistry of the ancient Egyptian artisans. The hieroglyphs in this print are not only aesthetically pleasing but also hold historical significance. They provide valuable insights into the beliefs, customs, and daily life of the ancient Egyptians. The alphabet, which was later adopted by the Greeks and Romans, is believed to have originated from the Egyptian hieroglyphs. The Temple of Kom Ombo is a remarkable architectural and artistic achievement that has survived the test of time. It is a reminder of the ancient Egyptian civilization's enduring legacy and the importance of preserving and studying our cultural heritage. This print is a must-have for anyone interested in ancient history, art, or Egyptology.
