Légende

'Grand avenue approaching the Temple of Karnak, Thebes, Egypt', 1905. 'The soldiers of Assyria in plundering bands have marched down this avenue. Persian hordes have swarmed through it. Alexander's phalanxes have trodden it. The legions of Rome have wrecked it, and the image-hating Moslems have shattered its sculptures, until, war-worn and weather-beaten, these scarred and battered forms show little of their former semblance, and you can hardly find a single ram of which the head is still in place.' Stereoscopic card. Detail. From a series called Egypt Through the Stereoscope, text by James H Breasted.
