EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image, we find ourselves transported back to the ancient world of Egypt during the Old Kingdom, specifically to the Saqqara necropolis and the complex of Djoser. The focal point of the photograph is the enigmatic South House, a symbolic building located to the east of Djoser's pyramid. Erected during the 27th century BC in the 3rd Dynasty, the South House stands as a testament to the architectural prowess and artistic vision of the ancient Egyptians. Decorated with four towering fluted columns, each forty feet high, the South House boasts intricate niches designed for offerings. The South House, also known as the Per Ankh or the House of the Ka of Djoser, is believed to have served as a mortuary temple and a symbol of the pharaoh's power and divine connection. The columns, adorned with intricate carvings of Horus Netjerikhet, the ancient Egyptian god of the sky, sun, and protection, further emphasize the sacred nature of the structure. The complex, which also includes the Step Pyramid of Djoser, is situated in the deserted area of Saqqara, just north of Memphis, the ancient capital city of Egypt. The ruins of this archaeological site offer a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of one of the world's oldest civilizations. The South House, with its majestic columns and intricate decorations, stands as a silent witness to the grandeur and sophistication of ancient Egyptian civilization. Its enduring presence serves as a reminder of the incredible achievements of the human spirit and the power of art and architecture to transport us across time and space.
