EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the majestic Obelisk at Luxor, standing proudly before the main front entrance to the ancient Temple. The obelisk, with its intricate hieroglyphics and towering presence, is a true testament to the rich history and archaeological wonders of Egypt.
What makes this particular obelisk even more fascinating is that it is the remaining in situ obelisk at Luxor, as its sister obelisk was famously moved to the Place de la Concorde in Paris. This fact adds an extra layer of intrigue and historical significance to this already remarkable monument.
The image transports us back in time to circa 1970, allowing us a glimpse into ancient Egyptian culture and architecture. The sheer size and grandeur of the obelisk against the backdrop of the temple's pylon entrance is truly awe-inspiring.
As we gaze upon this piece of history frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at the craftsmanship and artistry that went into creating such a monumental structure. It serves as a reminder of Egypt's enduring legacy and continues to captivate all who have the privilege of beholding it.
