The Temple of Abu Simbel sent on June 12, 2017 (11:33) by Annamaria Pertosa. 86 comments, 2844 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 in bianco e nero, se esprimete una preferenza, mi fate cosa gradita, perché ero indecisa fra le due opzioni. Grazie come sempre per critiche, consigli e commenti.

Very beautiful the composition of this wonderful monument, exquisitely illustrated in the caption.
Congratulations, Annamaria.
The white / black version is also nice, but I personally prefer this in color.

Paul, thank you for adding the caption. Sometimes, I'm afraid to make it too long. The same shift work was also done with the Isis temple on Philae Island.
