EDITORS COMMENTS
Abu Simbel: The Majestic Temple of Nefertari, Egypt Nestled on the western bank of Lake Nasser in southern Egypt, the Temple of Nefertari at Abu Simbel stands as a testament to the grandeur and religious devotion of ancient Egypt's Pharaohs. This breathtaking photograph by Lionel Coates captures the awe-inspiring entrance to this mortuary temple dedicated to the beloved queen Nefertari, consort of Ramesses II. Carved into the hillside, the temple complex was built around 1264 BC as part of a larger campaign to showcase the power and wealth of the Egyptian Kingdom. The entrance is adorned with intricate reliefs depicting various gods and goddesses, including Hathor, the goddess of love, music, and dance. As you step closer, the sheer size of the entrance and the meticulously carved details become apparent. The massive statues of Ramesses II and Nefertari, flanked by their respective gods, greet visitors with an air of regal authority. The temple's architecture is a blend of ancient Egyptian and Nubian influences, reflecting the kingdom's expanding borders under Ramesses II. The Temple of Nefertari is not just a historical and archaeological site but also a significant religious pilgrimage destination. It is believed that the temple's location, orientation, and design were carefully planned to align with the sun's rays during the winter solstice, illuminating the inner sanctum and celebrating the eternal life of the queen. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural significance of ancient Egypt, inviting us to explore the mysteries and wonders that lie within its ancient ruins.
