EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the colonnade in the Roman and Ptolemaic Double Temple of Sobek and Haroeris on the majestic River Nile. The ancient Egyptian temple, located in Kom Ombo, Egypt, is a testament to the rich history and architectural brilliance of this civilization. The intricate carvings on the stone column depict hieroglyphics that tell stories of gods and pharaohs. Among them is Sobek, the revered crocodile god who symbolized fertility and protection. His presence in this sacred sanctuary highlights his significance in ancient Egyptian mythology. The photographer, Gerard Degeorge, skillfully captures every nuance of this remarkable piece of architecture. The play between light and shadow enhances the depth and texture of the carving, bringing it to life for viewers to appreciate its intricacy. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era when these temples stood as centers for religious worship and cultural gatherings. It serves as a reminder of humanity's ability to create enduring structures that withstand centuries while preserving our collective heritage. This print is not just a work of art but also an invitation to explore history through visual storytelling. It invites us to immerse ourselves in ancient civilizations' wonders by appreciating their craftsmanship from afar or embarking on a journey to witness them firsthand.
