EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate and powerful Egyptian art found in the Temple of Seti I at Abydos. The relief depicts the resurrection of Osiris, a central figure in ancient Egyptian mythology. In this scene, his sister and wife Isis tenderly holds his head while the god Sokar assists him as he awakens from death.
Dating back to the 19th Dynasty around 1300 B.C. during the New Kingdom period, this bas relief showcases the skill and craftsmanship of ancient Egyptian artists. The attention to detail is evident in every carving, from Osiris' serene expression to Isis' protective stance.
The Chapel of Ptah-Sokar within the temple serves as a sacred space for worship and reflection on themes of life, death, and rebirth that were central to Egyptian religious beliefs. This piece not only tells a story from mythology but also offers insight into the spiritual practices of an ancient civilization.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an age when gods walked among mortals and miracles were believed possible. It is a reminder of the enduring power and beauty of Egyptian art that continues to captivate audiences centuries later.
