Today, we see the painting "Writers in the Lap of the Luxor Temple", which was created by Austrian artist Tony Pinder in 1924, and it is a painting that expresses in one way or another the personality of Egypt.
The artist, "Tony Pinder" lived in the period between (1868-1944), a period that the whole world was about to fascinate with the ancient Egyptian civilization, especially after the French scientist "Champollion" was able to decipher it and know its language, and the orientalists became researchers and artists who always came to know this civilization from near.
But the scene that Tony Binder found is somewhat strange, for the viewers from outside the matter. As for the Egyptians, it is a very ordinary matter.
Tony Pinder managed to make us feel the world of the temple through the inscriptions and rock pieces and the color of the walls and the magnitude of the building, and he was able to transfer us to the contemporary world through the "uniform" of children, their sheikh and their papers.
In the painting, we see the regular session of the pupils and the Sheikh who a scholar presents to him what he wrote, and we see the sunlight that descends in the hall of the room where the children sit to "confine the allies", a sun that used to enter this place thousands of years ago carrying with it a "knowledge" extended since The temple was a ancient Egyptian in which rituals were held.
