Kom Ombo (Vintage)

Edited scan from analogue film
The double temple of Kom Ombo is located about 40 kilometres north of Aswan, directly on the eastern bank of the Nile. It was built during the reign of the Ptolemies over Egypt between 304 and 31 BC and was used for the separate worship of the crocodile-headed god Sobek and the falcon-headed god Haroeris (Horus).
The temple was partially buried by desert sand until it was completely uncovered in 1893. The impressive watercolour by the British draughtsman and painter David Roberts from 1838 has remained in the collective visual memory.
The sepia colouring is intended to reinforce the impression of a historical photograph, which of course it is not, as can easily be seen from the large number of tourists stumbling around in front of the temple.

Bearbeiteter Scan vom Analogfilm
Der Doppeltempel von Kom Ombo liegt etwa 40 km nördlich von Assuan direkt am östlichen Ufer des Nil. Er wurde erbaut in der Zeit der Herrschaft der Ptolemäer über Ägypten zwischen 304 und 31. v. Chr. und diente der getrennten Verehrung des krokodilköpfigen Gottes Sobek und dem falkenköpfigen Gottes Haroeris (Horus).
Der Tempel war bis zu seiner vollständigen Freilegung 1893 zum Teil vom Wüstensand verschüttet. Das eindrückliche Aquarell des britischen Zeichners und Malers David Roberts von 1838 ist im kollektiven Bildgedächtnis geblieben.
Die Bearbeitung in Sepia soll den Eindruck einer historischen Aufnahme verstärken, um die es sich natürlich nicht handelt, was leicht zu erkennen ist an der Vielzahl von Touristen, die vor dem dem Tempel herumstolpern.
