EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an Egyptian Mummy of a Hawk representing Horus, dating back to the 1st century BC-1st century. Horus, the revered falcon god, held great significance as Egypt's first national deity and was worshipped by all Egyptians for over 5,000 years. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this ancient artifact transport us to a time when religion played a central role in society. The hawk symbolizes power and protection in Egyptian mythology, embodying the divine essence of Horus himself. As we gaze upon this decorative piece, we are reminded of the profound connection between life and death in ancient Egypt. Mummification was a sacred ritual performed on both humans and animals to ensure their journey into the afterlife. This historic object serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient Egypt. It is through such artifacts that we gain insight into their beliefs, customs, and artistic expressions that have shaped human history. Thanks to photographers like CM Dixon or Mike Dixon who captured this image with precision and care, we can now appreciate these treasures from afar. Let us cherish this extraordinary glimpse into an era long gone while honoring its significance in shaping our understanding of humanity's past.
