EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the bustling streets of ancient Egypt in the 1930s. In this snapshot, an Egyptian snake charmer proudly displays his trade beside the majestic Avenue of Sphinxes at the Temple of Karnak in Thebes. The Temple of Karnak, a magnificent complex near Luxor, holds great historical significance as it was built during the Middle Kingdom and continued to be expanded until the Ptolemaic period. The Avenue of Sphinxes served as a ceremonial route connecting Luxor and Karnak temples, witnessing countless processions throughout history. In this image, we see a lone figure immersed in his occupation. With hand raised in a commanding gesture, he captivates both locals and tourists alike with his mesmerizing skills. His job as an animal trainer requires immense patience and expertise as he tames these reptiles for entertainment purposes. Surrounded by breathtaking architecture and steeped in religious symbolism, this scene encapsulates the rich cultural heritage that thrived within ancient Egypt. As we gaze upon this portrait from "Tour of the World" captured by an unknown photographer affiliated with Keystone View Company, we are transported back to a time when snake charmers were revered for their mystical abilities. Through this photograph's lens, we catch a glimpse into daily life along these historic roads where tradition meets modernity. It serves as a reminder that even amidst grand structures like temples and sphinxes, it is often ordinary people who bring life to such extraordinary places.
