EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to ancient Egypt, specifically Thebes, where we find ourselves inside the Tomb of Kha. The image showcases a mesmerizing scene of worship and offerings being made to Osiris, the revered god of the afterlife. Seated regally on his magnificent throne, Osiris is depicted with utmost detail and grandeur. What makes this artwork even more remarkable is that it is a fragment from the famous book of the dead, written on a two-column papyrus adorned with intricate hieroglyphs and polychrome drawings. This particular piece belongs to the eighteenth dynasty during the New Kingdom period. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we cannot help but marvel at how it has survived through centuries and now resides in Italy's Turin at Museo Egizio (Egyptian Museum). Its preservation allows us to appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also gain insights into ancient Egyptian mythology and religious practices. The absence of people in this photograph invites us to focus solely on these extraordinary artifacts. We are left contemplating their significance within an era long gone yet still fascinatingly present through such relics. It serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring curiosity about our past and our continuous quest for understanding our roots.
