Stereoscopic card. Detail. From a series called Egypt Through the Stereoscope, text by James H Breasted

The Temple of Sethos I, Abydos, Egypt 1905 - A Glimpse into Ancient Egyptian History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1905, capturing the magnificent Temple of Sethos I in Abydos, Egypt. The temple stands as a testament to the ancient civilization's architectural prowess and religious devotion. Although Sethos I never witnessed its completion, his son Ramses II ensured that his father's vision was realized. Behind the grand pillars depicted in this image lies a long inscription by Ramses II himself, recounting how he finished constructing this awe-inspiring structure. One notable detail mentioned is how he walled up five out of seven doors; on this side of the center alone, we can clearly see three doors filled with masonry. The stereoscopic card format adds depth and realism to the scene, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in this historical moment. This particular photograph belongs to a series called "Egypt Through the Stereoscope" accompanied by descriptive text written by James H Breasted. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece today, we are transported not only through time but also across continents. The temple serves as a reminder of Africa's rich cultural heritage and religious significance throughout history. It stands tall amidst the desert landscape while offering glimpses into an ancient world that continues to captivate our imagination.
