EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic frontal view of a sphinx from the avenue of Sphinxes, leading to the sacred Temple of Amun Mut and Khons in Luxor, Egypt. Dating back to approximately 370 BC during the reign of Nakhtwnebo I, these stone creatures stand as powerful symbols of ancient Egyptian mythology and religion. The sphinx, with its lion-like body and human head, represents strength and wisdom. It is believed to guard sacred places and possess divine knowledge. As one gazes upon this mythical creature, they are transported back in time to an era when worshiping gods like Amun Re, Mut, and Khons was an integral part of daily life. The vibrant colors preserved on this print bring life to the female figure depicted alongside the sphinx. She stands as a representation of power and reverence towards these deities. The avenue itself serves as a holy road connecting mortals with their gods. Luxor's rich history comes alive through this image - a testament to Egypt's glorious past filled with pharaohs, royalty, religious rituals, and architectural marvels such as temples dedicated to revered goddesses like Mut. As we admire this photograph captured by CM Dixon without any commercial intent or use mentioned here; we cannot help but feel blessed by witnessing such extraordinary remnants from an ancient civilization that continues to captivate our imagination today.
