EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic sight of carved pillars standing proudly at the entrance to the Temple of Amun and the holy mountain of Jebel Barkal in Karima, Sudan. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this remarkable landmark holds immense historical significance for Africa and its ancient civilizations. Underneath a cloudless blue sky, these ancient stone pillars showcase intricate carvings that tell tales of an era long gone. The skillful craftsmanship is evident in every detail, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Sudanese civilization. The image portrays a sense of awe-inspiring grandeur as visitors are greeted by these towering columns upon arrival. The warm sunshine casts vibrant colors on the stone work, enhancing its beauty and creating a striking contrast against the clear sky. With its low angle view, this photograph allows us to appreciate both the scale and artistry behind these architectural wonders. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity throughout history and invites us to delve into Sudan's fascinating past through archaeology and exploration. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time by photographers Andrew McConnell and Robert Harding, we are reminded of our shared global heritage and how travel can transport us back in time to witness extraordinary remnants from ancient civilizations.
