Légende

'Across the plain of Thebes and past the Memnon statues from the cliffs, Egypt', 1905. 'The city which once stood below us rose to a splendour and magnificence unknown before. Laden with the spoils of Asia and Nubia, the conquerors of the eighteenth and nineteenth dynasties returned to this lovely, cliff-encircled plain to adorn it with the mightiest temples that have ever risen by human hands. It was with the invasion of the Assyrians in the seventh century BC that its colossal temples fell a prey to fire and sword.' Stereoscopic card. Detail. From a series called Egypt Through the Stereoscope, text by James H Breasted.
