EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of Turkmenistan's State Historical and Cultural Park, specifically the elevated view of the fortifications of Gyaur Kala. Dating back to the 6th-4th century BC, these ancient ruins stand as a testament to an extraordinary civilization that once thrived in this region. The image showcases the remarkable architecture and intricate details of these fortifications, which have withstood the test of time. Nestled amidst a breathtaking mountainous landscape, it is impossible not to be awestruck by the rich history and archaeological significance that permeates every stone. As you gaze upon this photograph, you can't help but feel transported back in time. The absence of people allows for an uninterrupted connection with the past, where one can almost hear echoes from ancient civilizations whispering through the wind. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999, this location holds immense cultural value and serves as a place of interest for travelers seeking to explore Turkmenistan's historical legacy. It is a reminder that even though centuries have passed since its creation, its allure remains intact. DEA / C. SAPPA UIG has masterfully captured this moment in time through their lens, allowing us to appreciate both the grandeur and fragility of our world's ancient wonders. This print invites us on a visual journey into Turkmenistan's past while reminding us how crucial it is to preserve such treasures for future generations.
