EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Felix Teynard transports us back to the ancient wonders of Djebel Selseleh (Silsilis). The image showcases the architectural mastery of the steles carved into the rock face, a testament to the rich heritage of ancient Egypt. The photograph captures the grandeur and scale of these monumental structures, which were meticulously crafted in the 19th century BCE during the reign of Ramesses II, also known as Ramesses The Great. These stelae served as religious markers or commemorative plaques, reflecting both their significance in Egyptian religion and their historical importance. Teynard's skillful use of photography enhances our appreciation for this archaeological site's timeless beauty. The contrast between light and shadow accentuates every intricate detail etched into these weathered rocks. As we gaze upon this stunning image, we are reminded not only of Egypt's glorious past but also its enduring cultural legacy. Djebel Selseleh stands as a symbol of human ingenuity and artistic expression that has withstood centuries. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph invites viewers to embark on a visual journey through time. It beckons tourists from all corners of the world to explore this remarkable tourist attraction nestled within Egypt's breathtaking landscape. Felix Teynard's work serves as a window into history, allowing us to marvel at ancient civilizations' achievements while igniting our curiosity about what lies beneath each ruinous surface.
