1901 Egyptian Hippodrome Istanbul Monument Obelisk Ruin Ruins Stone Turkish Wall Walled Stereograph Thutmose Iii Turn Of Century

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling city of Istanbul in 1901. The image showcases two remarkable obelisks, each with its own unique story and significance. Standing tall against the backdrop of the former Hippodrome, these ancient structures exude a sense of grandeur and mystery. The first obelisk depicted is known as the Walled Obelisk, its weathered stone bearing witness to centuries of history. Its intricate carvings tell tales of empires risen and fallen, while its imposing presence commands attention even amidst the ruins surrounding it. Next to it stands the Obelisk of Thutmose III, an Egyptian relic transported across continents to find its new home in Istanbul. This magnificent monument serves as a testament to cultural exchange and echoes whispers from distant lands. In this black-and-white stereograph, we see a young boy standing before these architectural marvels. His presence adds a touch of scale and perspective, reminding us that even in ancient times, there were curious souls who marveled at such wonders. As we gaze upon this photograph from over a century ago, we are transported through time and space. We can almost feel the cool breeze on our skin as we stand among these ruins ourselves – witnessing firsthand how history intertwines with everyday life in one of Turkey's most vibrant cities.
