EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the majestic ruins of the Colonnade of Herod in the ancient city of Samaria, located in the West Bank of the Middle East. Dating back to the 1920s, this image transports us back in time to the twenties, a decade marked by historical discoveries and archaeological explorations in the Holy Land. The Colonnade of Herod, also known as the Herodian colonnaded street, is a remarkable architectural feat that once adorned the bustling streets of this ancient city. The image reveals the grandeur of the colonnade, with its imposing stone pillars and intricately carved capitals, standing tall amidst the rubble and debris of the past. The men in the photograph, dressed in traditional Middle Eastern attire, add a sense of scale and context to the scene, highlighting the passage of time and the enduring legacy of this ancient civilization. Samaria, an important city in biblical times, was a significant political and cultural center in the region. The Colonnade of Herod is believed to have been built during the Roman period, around 30 BC, and was part of a larger complex that included a theater, a gymnasium, and a public bath. The ruins of the colonnade offer a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of the Middle East, a region that continues to captivate the world's imagination. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the enduring allure of ancient ruins and the importance of preserving the past for future generations. It invites us to reflect on the complex history of the Holy Land and the many layers of culture and civilization that have shaped this region over the centuries.
