EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring grandeur of Ethiopia's Aksum, specifically the Northern Stelae Park and its iconic Great Stelae. Standing tall at a staggering height of 22 meters, this monumental structure is believed to be the largest single block of stone ever attempted to be erected by humans. However, as history tells us, this magnificent piece has fallen from its once majestic position. Scholars speculate that it toppled over due to unknown circumstances. Despite its broken state, the Great Stelae continues to exude an undeniable sense of power and mystery. Located in the Tigray region of Ethiopia, this UNESCO World Heritage Site holds immense historical significance for Africa and beyond. It serves as a testament to the ancient civilization that thrived in Aksum centuries ago. Photographer Jane Sweeney skillfully captures both the beauty and melancholy surrounding this fallen marvel through her lens. The image showcases not only the physical remnants but also evokes a sense of wonder about what stories these weathered stones could tell if they could speak. Discover Images by AWL presents this remarkable photograph as a tribute to Ethiopia's rich cultural heritage and invites viewers on a visual journey into one of Africa's most intriguing archaeological sites.
