EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the rich historical heritage of Libya's Sabratha, a significant archaeological site listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1982. The image captures the essence of ancient Tripolitania, with its remarkable Punic tomb or mausoleum dedicated to Bes, an important deity in Phoenician and Carthaginian cultures. The abandoned monument stands as a testament to the once-thriving civilization that flourished here centuries ago. Its Greek-inspired architecture reflects the cultural exchange and influences prevalent during that era. Against the backdrop of a clear sky, this vertical shot highlights both the grandeur and serenity of this ancient ruin. A striking feature within this historic landscape is an intricately carved lion statue, symbolizing strength and power. This animal representation adds depth to the composition while reminding us of Africa's diverse wildlife. As we gaze upon this international landmark devoid of human presence, our imagination transports us back to the 2nd century BC when bustling activity would have surrounded these now-silent walls. The horizon over land stretches endlessly beyond, inviting contemplation on how time has shaped this landscape. This evocative photograph not only preserves fragments from Libya's past but also serves as a reminder of our shared global history. It invites viewers to appreciate and cherish these remnants from ancient civilizations that continue to inspire awe and curiosity today.
