EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, taken in Egypt during the late 1800s, captures a moment in time when farmers relied on traditional methods to irrigate their land and cultivate crops. In the image, a group of farmers are seen working together to operate an ox-driven water wheel, also known as a sakkieh. The sakkieh was an essential tool for farmers in the arid regions of Egypt, allowing them to bring water from nearby rivers or streams to their fields. The scene is set against a backdrop of a rolling countryside, with the farmers dressed in traditional ethnic attire, some wearing turbans and others with long robes and sandals. In the foreground, an ox is harnessed to the water wheel, its powerful muscles straining as it turns the wheel, which in turn pumps water into a nearby irrigation canal. The farmers stand around the wheel, some using long poles to direct the flow of water, while others tend to the nearby crops. The photograph also reveals glimpses of other bygone elements of rural life, including an old, weathered tree in the background, a plow leaning against a rock, and a simple cart in the distance. The sky overhead is clear and cloudless, with the sun casting long shadows across the landscape, suggesting that this is likely a summer day. This image offers a glimpse into the rich agricultural heritage of Egypt, a time when farming was a communal effort, relying on traditional methods and the power of animals to bring life to the land. It is a reminder of the resilience and ingenuity of rural communities, and the importance of preserving the cultural traditions and historical practices that have shaped our world.
