EDITORS COMMENTS
Nectanebo I: A Monumental Testament to Ancient Egyptian Rule and Religion Nectanebo I, the last native Pharaoh of the 30th Dynasty in ancient Egypt, is depicted in this magnificent granite statue, now housed in the National Archaeological Museum in Madrid, Spain. Dating from approximately 380-362 BC, this sculpture showcases the Pharaoh's regal presence and piety. Nectanebo I is shown kneeling, a posture of reverence and submission to the gods, while holding an offering table. The intricately carved inscription on the table's legs reveals the Pharaoh's name, titles, and the names of the gods to whom the offerings were made. This suggests that the statue was likely placed in a temple setting, where Nectanebo I would present gifts to the deities in an attempt to secure their favor and maintain the balance of the cosmos. The black granite from which the statue is carved adds to its impressive appearance, as this precious material was often used for royal statues due to its durability and association with the fertile Nile River. The statue's interior, not visible in this image, is inscribed with additional texts and scenes, further emphasizing the importance of Nectanebo I and his role as a pharaoh. As the last ruler of the 30th Dynasty, Nectanebo I's reign marked the end of the Pharaonic period in ancient Egypt and the beginning of the Greco-Roman period. This statue, therefore, stands as a significant reminder of Egypt's rich history and the complex religious and political landscape of the ancient world.
