EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the haunting beauty and historical significance of Palmyra, Syria, a UNESCO World Heritage site and a testament to the rich archaeological and cultural heritage of the ancient world. The image, taken in the 1980s by renowned photographer Hubertus Kanus, showcases the Valley of Tombs, where the Palmyrenes built a series of large-scale funerary monuments, or necropolises, during the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. The Valley of Tombs is situated at the foot of a hill where Fakhr-al-Din al-Maani Castle stands proudly. The castle, built in the 13th century AD, served as a defensive fortress and a symbol of power for the rulers of Palmyra. The towering ruins of the castle provide a striking contrast to the smaller, yet no less impressive, tomb towers in the valley below. The arid landscape, dotted with the remains of ancient columns and architectural fragments, speaks to the passage of time and the enduring legacy of this ancient civilization. The photograph transports us back to an era of grandeur and intrigue, inviting us to ponder the mysteries of the past and the resilience of human history.
