EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph, captured by Ethel Davies in 2007, showcases the enigmatic Sphinx of Giza, Egypt. The Sphinx, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human, dates back to approximately 2500 BC and represents the Pharaoh Khafre, also known as Khephren. The Sphinx stands guard over the ancient pyramids of Giza, a testament to the rich history and mythology of ancient Egypt. The image captures the Sphinx in the soft, golden light of the 21st century sun, casting long shadows on the sandy ground. The contrast between the darkness of the shadows and the vibrant colors of the scene creates a striking visual effect. The Sphinx, a symbol of power and wisdom, gazes into the distance, seemingly pondering the mysteries of the past and the present. The Sphinx, a mythical beast of ancient Egypt, is a beloved symbol of the country's rich history and mythology. The image, taken in the 2000s, serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of the ancient civilization, which continues to captivate and inspire people around the world. The Sphinx, with its iconic pose and enigmatic expression, remains a powerful symbol of the past and a source of wonder and fascination for generations to come." Ethel Davies, a skilled photographer, captured this moment in time, allowing us to appreciate the timeless beauty and mystery of the Sphinx of Giza. The image, taken in the heart of Egypt, is a testament to the power of photography to transport us to other places and times, and to remind us of the richness and complexity of our shared human history.
