EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to ancient Egypt, showcasing the awe-inspiring Step Pyramid at Sakkara. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image is a part of a private collection that beautifully captures the historical significance of this monument. The Step Pyramid at Sakkara stands as a testament to Egypt's rich history and architectural prowess. Believed to be the oldest stone pyramid ever built, it was constructed during the Fourth Dynasty by King Djoser around 5000 BC. This remarkable structure showcases intricate step-like layers that ascend towards the sky, creating a mesmerizing sight for all who behold it. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back thousands of years ago when pharaohs ruled over this magnificent land. The Step Pyramid symbolizes not only the power and grandeur of ancient Egyptian civilization but also their advanced knowledge in engineering and construction. This particular image was featured in George Ch Dovas' "Souvenir of Egypt" published in 1898, further emphasizing its historical significance. Preserved through time, it serves as a window into our past and allows us to appreciate the wonders created by civilizations long gone. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can now admire this extraordinary piece of history from afar. Letting our imagination wander amidst these ancient ruins reminds us of humanity's enduring fascination with exploration and discovery.
