For #PalacesAndGardens #LastWords, the mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the female pharaoh who was one of Egypt's greatest rulers during its most glittering age (2004). #photography #Egypt #Africa #Hatshepsut #ruins #AncientBlueSky #travelphotography #archaeology #temple #EastCoastKin #ECK #WCK

This photo shows the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut located in Deir el-Bahari, Egypt.

The image captures the temple's unique architecture, highlighted by its multi-tiered terraces and striking colonnades built directly into the base of a towering, rugged limestone cliff face. A long, central ramp leads visitors from the lower courtyard up to the higher levels. The entire scene is set against a bright, clear blue sky, emphasizing the stark, desert landscape surrounding the historical complex. Small groups of visitors can be seen walking across the courtyards and up the ramps, giving a sense of the grand scale of the monument.

For #ReliefWednesday, we examine this C2 CE #Roman copy of a C5 BCE #Greek #relief of #Medea and the Peliades. Discovered in 1814 at palazzo De Carolis on via del Corso, its wear pattern suggests it was used upside down as a paver. Now in the #VaticanMuseums. #AncientBluesky 🏺

RELIEF OF MEDEA AND THE PELIADES, C2 CE, FROM AN ATTIC ORIGINAL OF 420-410 BCE. VATICAN MUSEUMS

A worn marble relief. Three women stand around a cauldron on a tripod. The figure at left, with her strange Phrygian headdress and upright posture, is the witch Medea, holding her pyxis of magical ingredients. She is meant to be recognisably foreign: the much-feared "woman from another land", indicating her otherness. She wears a thick peplos over her soft chiton, because she knows she's going to have to leave in a minute. The daughters of Pelias are only wearing chitons as they undertake the pious filial duty of chopping up their father and putting the parts in the cauldron so that thanks to Medea's magic he can arise rejuvenated. The wear pattern suggests it was used upside down as a paving stone. Discovered in 1814 during building works at palazzo De Carolis on the Corso, the Simonetti family kept it raw. In 1844, Gregory XVI bought it for his Lateran museum; in 1970, it moved to a brutalist building in the Vatican.
