EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Pharaoh Horemheb, the last ruler of Egypt's 18th Dynasty and the first pharaoh of the 19th Dynasty, in a reverent and submissive pose before the god Amun. Dated back to the 13th century BC, this sculpture is a testament to the deep-rooted religious beliefs and mythology of ancient Egypt. Horemheb, whose name means "Horus is my ruler," is shown wearing the nemes headdress and a simple pleated kilt. The nemes headdress, a symbol of royalty, is adorned with the uraeus, a cobra representing the goddess Wadjet, protector of the pharaoh. In his hands, Horemheb holds the symbols of power - the scepter and the ankh, the symbol of life. Amun, the king of the gods, is depicted as a majestic figure with the ram's head. He wears the Atef crown, which represents the union of the god Atum and the goddess Hathor. Amun's hands are raised in a gesture of blessing, and he holds the symbol of his divinity, the sacred feather fan. The scene portrays Horemheb's submission to Amun, acknowledging the god's supremacy and seeking his blessings for his rule. This group statue, now housed in the Luxor Museum in Egypt, is a powerful reminder of the intricate relationship between the pharaoh and the gods in ancient Egyptian society.
