EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Ethel Davies in 1984, showcases the iconic Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, a testament to the rich history and ancient engineering marvels of the ancient civilization. The image features the Pyramids of Menkaure, Khafre, and Khufu, which date back to around 2000 BC. These pyramids served as the tombs for the Pharaohs Cheops (Khufu), Chephren (Khafre), and Mycerinus (Menkaure), respectively. The Pyramids, located in the desert on the outskirts of modern-day Giza, are some of the most famous geographical features in the world. The Great Pyramid of Giza, the largest and most famous of the three, is the oldest and was built for Pharaoh Khufu. The Pyramid of Khafre, the second largest, is renowned for its slightly smaller size but its unique angle, which gives it a slightly more impressive appearance from a distance. The Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest of the three, is often overlooked but is still an impressive structure in its own right. This photograph, taken in the 1980s, captures the Pyramids in all their glory, with the golden sand of the desert providing a stunning contrast to the dark, imposing structures. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the awe and wonder that these structures would have inspired in ancient Mizraim (Egypt). Ethel Davies' photograph is a reminder of the enduring allure of the Pyramids, a symbol of the incredible history and culture of ancient Egypt that continues to captivate and inspire us to this day.
