EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the ancient ruins of Chichen Itza in Mexico. The image showcases the remains of the columns of the Portico of the Templo del los Geuerrors, offering a unique aerial perspective that allows us to appreciate their grandeur. The photographer, Pietro Ronchetti, captured this mesmerizing scene in 1958, providing a glimpse into an era long past. The artwork itself dates back to the VI-IX secc (sixth to ninth centuries), making it a remarkable testament to pre-Columbian civilization. Chichen Itza is renowned for its archaeological significance and architectural marvels, and this photograph highlights one such treasure. The portico stands as a symbol of both mystery and mastery, with intricate carvings adorning its weathered surfaces. Its sheer size and scale are awe-inspiring even in their fragmented state. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but imagine what life was like during those first and second millennia A. D. , when these structures were at their prime. We ponder over who built them and how they achieved such engineering feats without modern technology. Beyond its historical value, this photograph also serves as a reminder of our duty to preserve these cultural heritage sites for future generations. Through excavation efforts like those depicted here, archaeologists continue uncovering invaluable insights into our collective human history. In conclusion, Ronchetti's print offers us an extraordinary view from above – an opportunity to appreciate the beauty and magnificence of Chichen Itza's Portico while contemplating the rich tapestry woven by civilizations that once thrived there.
