DescriptionGateway of the Small Temple.jpg |
English: "This photograph shows the first pylon of the small temple of Medinet Haboo, with the two circular columns which guard it. The jamb on the right is broken down, and much of the inscription has been lost in consequence. (...) The entrance to the next area through this gateway is somewhat difficult, large masses of stone lying in disordered heaps across it. The masonry left standing is very perfect, the blocks of sandstone (probably procured from Gebel Silsilis) being so nicely fitted into the other that it would be difficult to force the blade of a knife in between the joints, although no mortar has been employed.
The builders of this portion of the temple must have had a keen eye for artistic effect. The play of sunlight and shadow on the columns and towers, and through the gateway, is at all times beautiful, and give a picturesqueness to the exterior which in a gloomy climate would be wanting. The two external columns were originally part of a series of eight, but even now they serve to heighten the pictorial effect." |
