EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless beauty and historical significance of Temptation Square in the small Iraqi village of Al-Qurnah, located at the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The rivers, which join to form the Shatt al-Arab, have long been associated with the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, including the legendary Garden of Eden. The image, taken in 1918 during the First World War, shows a serene and peaceful scene, a stark contrast to the turbulent history of the region. The square, now known as Temptation Square, is believed to be the site where Adam and Eve are said to have lived before their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. The lush vegetation and tranquil waters of the rivers create an idyllic setting that has captivated visitors for centuries. Al-Qurnah, also known as Qurna, is a small village within the town of Nahairat, situated northwest of Basra in southern Iraq. The name Qurna means "corner," referring to the village's location at the point where the two mighty rivers meet. The area has a rich cultural and historical heritage, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Sumerian civilization. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the enduring allure of the Mesopotamian region and its connection to the world's earliest civilizations. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to contemplate the mysteries of the past and the enduring power of nature.
