A fallen Rameses II, Temple of Wadi es-Sebua, Nubia
To me there’s nothing more mysterious and beautiful than that line where a ruin of Egypt’s past rises from the conquering empire of sand, the horizon where an ancient world meets a modern one and graven glyphs emerge to send us text messages from eternity...
It’s the power of the partly-veiled, like a barely risen - or set - sun on the horizon.
