EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the ancient land of Egypt, specifically to Saqqara, where we are granted a mesmerizing view of the stepped pyramid of Pharaoh Djoser. The image showcases the remarkable architectural prowess and ingenuity of the Egyptians during the Old Kingdom's Third Dynasty. Dating back to 2690-2670 BC, this funerary structure stands as a testament to an advanced civilization that thrived thousands of years ago. The pyramid's intricate design is composed entirely of bricks, each meticulously placed by skilled hands. Its imposing presence against the backdrop of the desert landscape evokes a sense of awe and wonder. The photograph itself was captured between 1880 and 1890 AD by Zangaki, an artist who dedicated his lens to documenting archaeological sites, monuments, and complexes across Africa. His work allows us to appreciate not only the grandeur but also serves as a valuable record for future generations. As we gaze upon this historic masterpiece frozen in time through Alinari's lens, we can't help but be transported into an era long gone yet forever preserved within these walls. It reminds us that beyond its physical beauty lies centuries' worth of stories waiting patiently to be unraveled by archaeologists and historians alike. Let this photograph serve as a reminder that art has no boundaries or limitations; it transcends time and culture while preserving our shared human history. May it inspire curiosity within all who lay eyes upon it – a window into an ancient civilization whose legacy continues to captivate our imaginations today.
