Algeria Butcher Cuicul Djemila Inscription Remains Then And Now Images Unesco Heritage Site
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the ancient Roman city of Djemila, located in Algeria. The image showcases a remarkable inscription carved into stone, revealing the profession of a shop owner - possibly a butcher. It is an intriguing glimpse into the daily life and commerce that once thrived within these historic walls. Djemila, also known as Cuicul, was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its exceptional preservation and architectural significance. This photograph captures the exterior remains of this magnificent city, transporting viewers to another era. The juxtaposition between then and now is strikingly evident in this image. While time has weathered some parts of Djemila's structures, it has not diminished their grandeur or historical importance. The intricate carving on display here serves as a testament to the skilled craftsmanship prevalent during ancient times. EMD/Then and Now Images/Heritage Images have expertly captured this snapshot from December 2007, allowing us to appreciate both the artistry of the inscription itself and its context within Djemila's ruins. Through their lens, we are able to immerse ourselves in Algeria's rich history and marvel at how remnants like these continue to tell stories centuries later. This print serves as a reminder of our shared human heritage and invites us to explore further into Algeria's fascinating past.
