EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Pyramids of the Black Pharaohs" as depicted in Athanase Kircher's renowned work, "Sphynx mystagoga" published in 1673. The image transports us back to ancient Egypt, specifically to the Jesuit Library in Cairo where this historical masterpiece is preserved. Kircher, a Jesuit scholar and polymath, dedicated his life to unraveling the mysteries of various civilizations. In this particular engraving, he sheds light on the enigmatic pyramids built by the Black Pharaohs of Sudan. These structures stand tall against the African landscape, testaments to a rich and powerful Arab civilization that once thrived. The photograph itself was expertly captured by Leonard de Selva, showcasing intricate details with remarkable clarity. Every line and contour tells a story of architectural brilliance and cultural significance. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of how archaeology allows us to connect with our past and understand our shared human history. It serves as a reminder that Africa holds countless treasures waiting to be discovered and celebrated. This print not only captures an archaeological marvel but also pays homage to Athanase Kircher's tireless efforts in preserving knowledge for future generations. Through his work and de Selva's lens, these pyramids continue to inspire awe and curiosity about Africa's vibrant heritage.
