EDITORS COMMENTS

Encased within a specially constructed torpedo-shaped shell, it embarks on a momentous expedition from Egypt to the bustling Embankment in London. The image captures the essence of industriousness and determination as this monumental artifact traverses vast oceans and continents. Its voyage symbolizes the enduring legacy of an ancient civilization that thrived in Africa and the Middle East. The monolith stands as a testament to their ingenuity and artistic prowess. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness history unfolding before our eyes.
