Abu Simbel, Egypt, 1845: A Glimpse into the Past This photograph, taken in 1845, offers a glimpse into the rich history and the awe-inspiring grandeur of Abu Simbel, located in southern Egypt near the shores of Lake Nasser. The colossal figures depicted here, standing at a staggering height of 20 metres, are a testament to the ancient Egyptian civilization that once thrived along the Nile River. The image captures the figures as they were discovered by travellers in the early 19th century. The passage of time and the relentless sands of the desert have taken their toll, leaving the figures badly damaged and partly concealed. The once vibrant and intricately carved details are now faded and weathered, a poignant reminder of the inexorable passage of time. The photograph, taken circa 1845, provides a unique perspective into the past. It offers a glimpse into a time when the temples of Abu Simbel, built during the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses II in the 13th century BC, were still largely untouched by the outside world. The temples, with their iconic statues of the pharaoh and the gods, were a marvel of ancient engineering and artistry, and their discovery marked a significant moment in the history of archaeology. Despite the damage and concealment, the figures continue to captivate and inspire, standing proudly against the backdrop of the vast desert landscape. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring allure of Egypt's ancient past and the importance of preserving and protecting its historical treasures for future generations to marvel at and learn from.
