The Pyramid of Sakkarah, Egypt, 1905 - A Glimpse into Ancient Egyptian Burial Customs
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the mesmerizing landscape of Egypt in 1905. Captured by Underwood & Underwood as part of their series called "Egypt Through the Stereoscope" this image showcases the iconic Pyramid of Sakkarah in all its grandeur. The pyramid stands tall amidst the vast desert, a testament to ancient Egyptian civilization's architectural prowess. Its imposing structure evokes a sense of awe and wonder, reminding us of the rich history that lies within its walls. Intriguingly, amidst this timeless monument is an unexpected presence - a solitary goatherd tending to his flock. This juxtaposition highlights the coexistence between ancient wonders and everyday life in Egypt at that time. The goats roam freely around the pyramid's base, unknowingly adding a touch of liveliness to this otherwise solemn scene. As we delve deeper into this photograph, it becomes apparent that death and burial are central themes here. The tomb-like mausoleum adjacent to the pyramid serves as a poignant reminder of mortality and our fascination with preserving memories for eternity. Through stereoscopic photography techniques employed by Underwood & Underwood, viewers can immerse themselves in this historical moment from over a century ago. It allows us to appreciate not only the geographical features but also gain insight into occupations like goatherding that were prevalent during that era. This
