EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this 19th century photograph of a Sakkieh, an ox-driven water wheel used for irrigation in Egypt. This vintage image transports us to a simpler era, where the rhythmic motion of the oxen powered the wheel, bringing life to the arid land and enabling the growth of farm crops. The Sakkieh, a traditional irrigation system, was widely used in Egypt during the late 1800s and early 1900s, particularly in rural areas where modern irrigation systems were yet to be introduced. The wheel, often made of wood and metal, was attached to a shaft that led to a network of canals, delivering water to the fields. This photograph, taken in the 1890s or 1900s, offers a glimpse into the rich agricultural heritage of Egypt. The scene is set against a backdrop of ancient structures and rustic buildings, reflecting the country's deep-rooted history and cultural traditions. The oxen, harnessed to the wheel, appear strong and determined, their labor essential to the survival of the community. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the ingenuity and resilience of the human spirit, and the connection between man and nature that has shaped civilizations throughout history. This photograph is not only a testament to Egypt's agricultural past but also a beautiful piece of art that captures the essence of a bygone era.
