EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Obelisk of Thodosius at the Hippodrome of Istanbul, Turkey. Standing tall and proud, this ancient structure is a testament to the rich history and architectural marvels of both Egypt and Turkey. The obelisk itself dates back to the Eighteenth Dynasty of Ancient Egypt's New Kingdom, making it an awe-inspiring relic from over 3,000 years ago. Its intricate carvings and symbolic representations speak volumes about the advanced craftsmanship and artistic prowess of that era. Located in Istanbul's historic Hippodrome, this obelisk holds great significance as a commemorative monument. It serves as a reminder of past civilizations' achievements while also highlighting their enduring legacy in modern times. Photographed between 1976-1977 by Pietro Ronchetti, this image captures not only the grandeur of the obelisk but also its surroundings. The juxtaposition between ancient Egyptian artistry and contemporary Turkish architecture creates a visually striking scene that transports viewers through time. As we admire this photograph, we are reminded of how archeological finds like these contribute to our understanding of ancient civilizations. They allow us to delve into Africa's rich heritage while appreciating their contributions to human history. This print by Alinari is more than just a beautiful piece; it serves as a window into our collective past. It invites us to explore different cultures, appreciate their accomplishments, and reflect on how they shape our present-day world.
