EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a timeless scene from Luxor, Egypt in the 20th century. In the foreground stands a majestic camel, an iconic symbol of this ancient country's rich history and culture. Behind it, we see a shaduf, an irrigation tool that dates back to Ancient Egypt. The shaduf is ingeniously designed to harness the power of the River Nile for agricultural purposes. It consists of a long pole with a bucket at one end and a counterweight on the other. By using their weight and balance, farmers were able to lift water from the river onto higher ground for irrigation. Luxor itself holds great historical significance as it was once known as Thebes - one of Ancient Egypt's most important cities. Located on the east bank of The Nile, Luxor is home to stunning temples such as Karnak and countless archaeological wonders. This vibrant color photograph not only showcases the beauty of these animals but also highlights how technology has evolved over time while still preserving traditional methods like this shaduf. It serves as a reminder of Egypt's deep connection with its geographical features and its continuous reliance on The Nile for sustenance. With every glance at this mesmerizing image, one can't help but be transported back in time to experience firsthand how life thrived along The Nile centuries ago.
