EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases an Osirian statue of the legendary pharaoh Hatshepsut (1508-1458 B.C), the second ruler of Egypt's Eighteenth Dynasty. The statue was discovered in the Temple of Deir El Bahari, located on the west bank of the Nile in Thebes, the ancient capital city of Egypt. Hatshepsut, also known as Hatchepsut, ruled Egypt during the New Kingdom period, a time of great cultural and artistic achievements. Hatshepsut is depicted in this statue as a regal and powerful figure, wearing the traditional crowns of Egypt - the Ankh, symbolizing the gift of life, and the Crux Ansata, representing the goddess Wadjet and the goddess Hathor. The Osirian motif reflects Hatshepsut's claim to divine authority, as she was believed to be the reincarnation of the god Osiris. The Temple of Deir El Bahari, where this statue was found, was built during Hatshepsut's reign as a memorial temple dedicated to the god Amun-Ra and the goddess Hathor. The temple complex is renowned for its architectural and artistic achievements, showcasing the pinnacle of ancient Egyptian civilization. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and artistic legacy of ancient Egypt, providing a window into the age of the pharaohs and the enduring influence of their culture on the modern world.
