EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic site of The Nilometer, where Moses was found in the Bulrushes. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this print showcases the timeless beauty and significance of this location. The image transports us to ancient Egypt, specifically to the island of Rhoda in Cairo. It is here that Moses, a central figure in biblical history, was discovered as a baby hidden among the bulrushes along the banks of the Nile River. This event holds great importance not only for religious followers but also for those interested in African history and culture. The composition highlights both natural elements and man-made structures. The lush greenery surrounding The Nilometer creates a serene backdrop against which its intricate architectural details stand out. This structure served as a measuring device for monitoring water levels during flood seasons – an essential tool for Egyptian agriculture. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of Africa's rich heritage and its deep connection with ancient civilizations. It serves as a visual reminder of how history intertwines with religion and geography on this diverse continent. This powerful image from Bridgeman Images invites us to reflect on our own place within human history while appreciating the enduring legacy left behind by cultures long gone.
