EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us on a journey to ancient Egypt, where the majestic Great Sphinx stands proudly at Giza. With its enigmatic gaze and imposing presence, the Sphinx has fascinated people for centuries, and this frontal view allows us to appreciate its grandeur in all its glory. What makes this photograph even more intriguing is the inclusion of the dream stele of King Thutmose IV between the paws of the Sphinx. This stone slab tells a fascinating story from Egyptian mythology: how Thutmose IV was chosen by the god Horus in his dreams to become pharaoh. The dream stele adds an extra layer of mystique to an already mysterious monument. The mid-20th-century capture brings forth a sense of nostalgia as we imagine ourselves standing before this iconic symbol of ancient civilization. The details are crisp and clear, allowing us to marvel at every intricate feature carved into both the Sphinx and the dream stele. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we can't help but be transported back in time, imagining what life must have been like during Egypt's golden age. It serves as a reminder that despite being thousands of years old, these architectural wonders continue to inspire awe and wonder today.
