EDITORS COMMENTS
Fragments of History: A Scientific Journey through the Bathroom of Time This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in the preservation of history. Taken in November 1928, it depicts a scientific bathroom where antiquities, once fragments from the corroding walls of Babylon, were meticulously cleaned of their salts. The image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to a world where the passage of centuries had left its indelible mark on ancient relics. The bathroom, a far cry from the mundane utilitarian space we know today, was a sanctuary for historical treasures. Here, the fragments were bathed in a solution designed to dissolve the corroding salts that threatened to destroy their structural integrity. The water, a testament to the patience and expertise of the specialists, was a crucial step in the painstaking process of restoring these priceless pieces to their former glory. Once the cleaning was complete, the fragments were carefully transferred to the bakery for specialist drying. The bakery, an unexpected destination for ancient artifacts, was an essential component of the preservation process. Its controlled environment ensured that the fragile fragments were gently dried, preventing further damage and preserving them for future generations to marvel at. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the lengths to which scientists and historians go to preserve our collective past. It invites us to reflect on the importance of preserving history, even as the sands of time continue to shift and change. The fragments of Babylon, now restored, stand as testament to the power of human ingenuity and the enduring allure of the past.
