EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of ancient Egyptian mythology and artistry. Titled "Ra the Sun King and Khnum, Keeper of the Nile Springs" it showcases a magnificent fresco from the Tomb of Ramses IX in Luxor, Egypt. The image transports us to a time when Luxor was the capital of pharaohs, between the 16th and 11th centuries BC. The Valley of the Kings, with its 62 tombs, holds immense historical significance. Within this tomb lies an intricate depiction of Ra, known as the Sun King, alongside Khnum, who is revered as the Keeper of the Nile Springs. The vibrant colors bring life to these mythological figures: Ra symbolizing divine power and sunlight while Khnum represents fertility and water sources. Their presence evokes a sense of awe for their role in ancient Egyptian civilization. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of Africa's rich heritage and how it shaped human history. The falcon perched atop Ra's head signifies his connection to divinity while also representing birds' symbolism in ancient Egyptian culture. Through this photograph's lens, we can appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its archaeological significance. It serves as a window into an era where paganism thrived alongside polytheistic beliefs that influenced religious practices during that time. Jean Bernard has masterfully captured this moment in history through his lens; every detail preserved for future generations to admire. This print stands as a testament to our fascination with antiquity and our desire to explore humanity's past through art and archaeology.
