EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Bibliotheca Alexandrina, Alexandria, Egypt, 2007" by Ethel Davies, offers a striking contrast between the ancient and the modern world. The image was captured in the renowned Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a library and cultural center located in Alexandria, Egypt, in the year 2007. At the heart of the photograph lies an ancient Egyptian mummy case, a relic from a civilization that thrived over 3,000 years ago. The mummy case, adorned with intricate designs and vibrant colors, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Egypt. The bearded face of the mummified body, with its serene expression and the hint of a blue-painted eye, invites us to ponder the mysteries of the past. Surrounding the mummy case is the stunning architecture of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a modern marvel that stands as a symbol of knowledge and enlightenment. The library's distinctive dome, reminiscent of the ancient lighthouse of Alexandria, reflects the clear blue sky, creating a breathtaking contrast between the old and the new. The photograph, taken in the 21st century, serves as a powerful reminder of the continuity of human civilization. The ancient Egyptian burial artifact and the modern library, both symbols of knowledge, are brought together in this evocative image, inviting us to reflect on the past, present, and future. Ethel Davies, a skilled photographer, masterfully captures the essence of this unique moment, allowing us to experience the magic of Egypt's ancient past and its modern revival. This image is a must-see for anyone interested in history, archaeology, and the interplay between the old and the new.
