EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled 'Les pyramides de Gizeh; Le Nord-Est Africain' (The Pyramids of Giza, Northeast Africa), was created in 1914. The image is from the renowned French publication 'Grande Geographie Bong Illustree' (Great Geography Bong Illustrated), showcasing the iconic Pyramids of Giza in Egypt. The creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, adding to its intrigue. The Pyramids of Giza, located in the Giza plateau on the outskirts of Cairo, are a testament to ancient Egyptian civilization and its architectural prowess. The three main pyramids, built as tombs for Pharaohs Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, have stood the test of time for over 4,500 years. The photograph captures the breathtaking scene of the pyramids at dawn, with the rising sun casting long, dramatic shadows over the structures. The reflection of the pyramids in the tranquil waters of the Nile River adds an ethereal quality to the image. The palm trees lining the riverbank provide a striking contrast to the rugged desert landscape. The Pyramids of Giza are not only significant geographical features but also important astronomical landmarks. They align with the stars in the constellation of Orion, and the pyramid of Khafre is believed to have been designed to align with the solstices. This lithograph is a beautiful representation of the rich history, culture, and natural beauty of ancient Egypt and the Nile Valley. It serves as a reminder of the scientific and astronomical knowledge of the ancient Egyptians and their deep connection to the natural world.
