This print captures the essence of ancient history and archaeology at the Kourion Museum in Cyprus. The focal point of the image is a striking sarcophagus, known as the "flesh-eating stone," dating back to 2011. This stone work masterpiece serves as a haunting reminder of death and mortality, showcasing intricate carvings and details that have withstood the test of time.
The museum itself is located in Kourion, overlooking the sparkling Mediterranean Sea, adding an extra layer of beauty and mystique to this archaeological site. Visitors are transported back in time as they explore artifacts like this sarcophagus, gaining insight into the lives and customs of civilizations long gone.
