EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the grandeur and historical significance of the ancient city of Palmyra, Syria, specifically the Roman Temple of Bel (Baal), the supreme god of the Palmyrians. Dating back to the 1st century AD, this architectural marvel is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Mesopotamian region. Located in the heart of the Syrian desert, Palmyra, also known as the Oasis of Tadmor, was already documented in the 2nd millennium. The city was an important cultural center and a significant Roman province, renowned for its unique blend of Greek, Persian, and Roman architectural influences. The Temple of Bel is a stunning example of ancient Roman architecture, featuring towering columns and a colonnade that once supported a roof. The temple was dedicated to Baal, the Palmyrian god of rain, fertility, and the sun. Baal was considered the king of the gods and was worshipped alongside other deities, including Allat and Aglibol. This photograph, taken before the devastating destruction of Palmyra by the Islamic State in 2015 during the Syrian civil war, offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the irreplaceable value of historical and cultural sites. The Temple of Bel, with its intricate carvings and imposing presence, stands as a symbol of the ancient world's artistic and religious achievements.
