EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to ancient Egypt, capturing the bustling ship traffic on the majestic Nile River during one of its great religious festivals. In the background stands the awe-inspiring Abu Simbel temples, a testament to Ramses II's architectural prowess dating back to the 13th century BC. Designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, these temples hold immense historical and cultural significance. However, this wood engraving also tells a story of preservation and resilience. In order to protect these magnificent structures from being submerged due to the construction of the Aswan High Dam and subsequent creation of Lake Nasser, they were painstakingly dismantled between 1963 and 1968. The temples were then relocated to higher ground on the plateau of Abu Simbel. The image itself is an exquisite example of woodcut engraving published in 1880. Its intricate details showcase an oriental style that transports us further into this ancient civilization's world. This print serves as a reminder not only of Egypt's rich heritage but also highlights humanity's commitment towards safeguarding our past for future generations. ZU_09 has masterfully captured this momentous scene through their lens, allowing us all to appreciate both the grandeur and fragility inherent in our shared human history.
