caption: EGYPT "The Eastern Colossus of Abu Simbel" (profile). The colossal monuments built by the ancient Egyptian civilization have been a destination for tourist travel since the end of the nineteenth century, when the passion for archaeological discoveries went beyond the narrow circle of professionals, coming to cloak also for the common people of the fascination that still He holds. The journalist, writer, academician and French photographer Maxime Du Camp (8 February 1822 - 8 February 1894) allowed himself to be captivated by such charm, and together with his friend Gustave Flaubert he made a trip to Egypt visiting and photographing the most famous archaeological sites. Photograph by Maxime Du Camp, Abu Simbel, 1851.
