EDITORS COMMENTS
In this awe-inspiring photograph by Lionel Coates, the colossal figure of Pharaoh Rameses II stands proudly before the magnificent temple of Abu Simbel in Egypt. Carved into the sandstone cliffs along the shores of Lake Nasser, the temple complex was dedicated to the pharaoh and the gods Ra-Horakty, Amun-Ra, and Ptah, demonstrating Rameses II's immense power and devotion to the Egyptian gods. At the feet of Rameses II, a cartouche, an oval frame containing the pharaoh's name, is inscribed with the hieroglyphs, "One powerful of truth is Ra, he whom Ra has chosen." This inscription emphasizes Rameses II's divine status and his role as the chosen one of the god Ra. The intricate hieroglyphics and symbols adorning the temple walls and the cartouche are remnants of ancient Egyptian writing, a complex system of communication that was used for administrative, religious, and artistic purposes. The hieroglyphs, pictograms, and hieroglyphics are a testament to the rich history and cultural achievements of the Egyptian civilization. Abu Simbel, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in archaeology, history, or ancient civilizations. The temple complex, with its impressive architecture and intricate carvings, offers a glimpse into the past and a deeper understanding of the ancient Egyptian kingdom and its people. Lionel Coates' photograph captures the grandeur and majesty of Abu Simbel and the enduring legacy of Rameses II. The cartouche, with its powerful inscription, serves as a reminder of the pharaoh's importance in Egyptian history and the significance of the ancient Egyptian civilization.
