The Temple of Abu Simbel sent on June 12, 2017 (11:29) by Annamaria Pertosa. 43 comments, 1344 views.

at 27mm, 1/125 f/22.0, ISO 200, hand held. Assuan, Egypt.

Costruito da Ramsesse II, Abu Simbel è uno dei più famosi monumenti dell'antico Egitto. Al confine meridionale del Paese, scolpita in una parete di pietra nel XIII secolo a.C., è uno spettacolo mozzafiato. La sua facciata di 33 m d'altezza, con le quattro colossali statue di Ramses II che porta la doppia corona dell'Alto e del Basso Egitto aveva il ruolo di mostrare la supremazia del faraone ai visitatori che provenivano da sud. Il Grande Tempio fu dedicato alle divinità protettrici delle grandi città egiziane: Amon di Tebe, Ptah di Menfi e Ra-Harakhty di Eliopoli. Intagliato nella roccia sulla sponda occidentale del Nilo, fu iniziato nel quinto anno di regno del faraone e ultimato dopo 30 anni. Con la fine dell'era faraonica, il monumento fu trascurato e sepolto dalla sabbia. Scomparve completamente dalla storia, senza essere più menzionato né dai greci né dai romani. Fu solo nel 1813, che Lewis Burkhardt, un esploratore svizzero patlò di questo luogo come di un insieme di statue di cui si vedevano solo la testa e le spalle. Nel 1817, l'esploratore italiano di Padova, Giovanni Battista Belzoni riuscì ad entrare nel tempio, ma fu purtroppo deluso dai pochi oggetti ritrovati. Il monumento è rimasto parzialmente sotto la sabbia per altri decenni, rivelato nella sua completa maestosità solo nel 1909. Ho postato anche la versione a colori, se esprimete una preferenza, mi fate cosa gradita, perché ero indecisa fra le due opzioni. Grazie come sempre per critiche, consigli e commenti.

A beautiful rock temple which was objected in 1964 to a colossal restoration that saved it from flooding the basin created by the Aswan Dam.

Beautiful composition and beautiful tone. Since you ask for a preference I vote for the bn even if I like the color version as well. If I can, I'll tell you a small typing error in the caption text: '... Swiss explorer patlò ...'.
Congratulations Annamaria.

The desaturated version of the architecture is also very beautiful, while color-enhancing colors enhance the environment

The depiction in poor color is not a bit disappointing Annamaria, but personally in this circumstance I prefer color version (I would have tried, if possible, selectively open those shadows) ;-).
