EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial print showcases the ancient city of Babylon, located in Hillah, Babil Governorate, Iraq. The extensive remains of this historical site are beautifully captured from above, offering a mesmerizing glimpse into its rich past. Dating back to the 23rd century BCE and serving as the capital for multiple empires, Babylon flourished until the Hellenistic era. The photograph allows us to appreciate the grandeur and scale of this once-thriving metropolis. Nestled beside the mighty Euphrates River, Babylon's architectural marvels and intricate city planning are evident even from this bird's-eye perspective. From towering ziggurats to sprawling palaces and bustling markets, it is clear that Babylon was a hub of civilization during its heyday. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but be transported back in time; imagining what life must have been like within these ancient walls. It serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's enduring quest for knowledge and progress throughout history. Thanks to Historic England Archive's meticulous preservation efforts and Aerofi's skilled aerial photography expertise, we are fortunate enough to witness such an extraordinary sight today. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also reminds us of our shared heritage and the importance of safeguarding these cultural treasures for future generations to cherish.
