EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Ethel Davies in 2007, showcases the breathtaking Bibliotheca Alexandrina in Alexandria, Egypt. The modern library, a symbol of knowledge and culture, stands proudly against the backdrop of the clear blue Mediterranean Sea. But the connection between the ancient and the modern in this image goes deeper than just a beautiful juxtaposition. Inside the library, an ancient Egyptian mummy case rests, a testament to the rich history of Egypt and its people. The mummy case, adorned with intricate gold designs and hieroglyphics, is a reminder of the centuries of knowledge and tradition that have shaped the Egyptian civilization. The face of the mummy, though long gone, still seems to gaze at the vast collection of books and knowledge that the Bibliotheca Alexandrina holds. The 21st century and the 20th century merge in this image, with the modern library and the ancient mummy case coming together to tell the story of Egypt's past and present. The golden sarcophagus, a symbol of the burial customs of ancient Egypt, stands in stark contrast to the colorful, contemporary books that line the shelves. The concept of preserving knowledge, whether in the form of ancient mummies or modern books, is at the heart of this powerful image. Ethel Davies, a skilled photographer, expertly captures the essence of this unique location, inviting us to reflect on the continuity of human history and the importance of preserving the past for future generations. The Bibliotheca Alexandrina, with its impressive collection of over 8 million books, stands as a testament to the enduring power of knowledge and the human spirit.
