EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a rare glimpse into the ancient world of Egypt. The image showcases a wall carving/painting found in the Mastaba/Tomb of Idout, located in Saqqara and dating back to the 6th Dynasty. The focal point of this artwork is an intense battle between two hippos, their powerful bodies engaged in a fierce fight. The level of detail and skill displayed in this ancient Egyptian art form is truly remarkable. Each stroke and line on the wall tells a story, depicting not only the physical struggle between these majestic creatures but also symbolizing deeper meanings within Egyptian mythology and beliefs. As we gaze upon this print by Mary Jelliffe, we are transported back thousands of years to witness a moment frozen in time. We can almost hear the splashing water and feel the tension in the air as these hippos clash with primal force. This photograph serves as a testament to both human creativity and our fascination with history. It reminds us that even after centuries have passed, there is still so much beauty and wisdom to be discovered from civilizations long gone. Mary Jelliffe's expert photography allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this ancient masterpiece while preserving its essence for generations to come. Through her lens, we are granted access to an extraordinary window into Ancient Egypt's rich cultural heritage - an experience that leaves us humbled by its magnificence.
