EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the timeless beauty and reverence of Ancient Egyptian history, as depicted in the Statue of Queen Nefertari at the Luxor Temple in Egypt. Dating back to circa 1910, this image showcases the standing Queen Nefertari, gracefully supporting her husband, Pharaoh Ramesses II, who is seated. The statue is a testament to the deep devotion and respect held for the Great Royal Wives of Pharaohs in Ancient Egyptian culture. The Luxor Temple complex, founded around 1400 BC, is a magnificent architectural masterpiece that was extended over the centuries by various Pharaohs. The temple complex is renowned for its intricate hieroglyphs and stunning statues, including this one of Queen Nefertari and Pharaoh Ramesses II. Queen Nefertari, the beloved wife of Ramesses II, was a powerful and influential figure in her own right. She was the daughter of Seti I and was known for her beauty, intelligence, and piety. Her name, which means "the beautiful companion," was a fitting tribute to her status as the queen consort and the beloved wife of one of Egypt's greatest Pharaohs. The statue's intricate details, including the hieroglyphs inscribed on the base, provide a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Ancient Egypt. The image of the couple standing together, with Nefertari supporting her husband, symbolizes the deep bond between the Pharaoh and his queen, as well as the importance of the role of the queen in Ancient Egyptian society. This photograph is a reminder of the enduring legacy of Ancient Egypt and the profound impact its history and culture continue to have on the world today.
