  • The image depicts a nighttime scene at a historic location, likely a temple or ancient site, characterized by large stone structures. Towering columns line the pathway, illuminated by soft red and amber lighting, which casts dramatic shadows on the walls.

  • The image depicts a famous ancient Egyptian sculpture known as the bust of Nefertiti. It features a detailed representation of a woman's head, elegantly adorned with a tall, flat headdress. The sculpture showcases Nefertiti's graceful facial features, including high cheekbones and a delicate neck. The colors are predominantly shades of beige and cream, with remnants of painted details on the headdress and necklace. This artwork is renowned for its beauty and serves as a significant artifact from ancient Egypt, reflecting the artistry of the time. “Nefertiti wants to go home” Alain Gresh · August 2023
  • The image depicts an interior space that appears to be a stone chamber or crypt. The walls are made of rough stone, showcasing an ancient architectural style. Light filters in through arched windows, casting a soft glow on the uneven stone floor. There are several columns supporting the ceiling, and a platform or altar can be seen against one wall. The atmosphere is quiet and austere, suggesting a place of historical or spiritual significance. Erdoğan Appropriates the Cultural Heritage of Turkey’s Minorities Verda Kimyonok · April 2020
