EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur and historical significance of the False door at the base of King Ezanas stele, located in Northern Stelae Park, Aksum, Ethiopia. Standing tall at an impressive height of 24 meters, this stelae is not only a remarkable testament to past civilizations but also holds the title as the largest standing stelae in existence. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an ancient civilization that once thrived in this very place. The intricate details carved into the granite column tell stories of a bygone era and offer us a glimpse into their rich history. The vibrant colors captured by Jane Sweeney/Robert Harding's lens further enhance our appreciation for this archaeological marvel. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Aksum proudly showcases its cultural heritage through these magnificent stone structures known as stelae. Each one represents a significant figure or event from its past, with King Ezana being one such revered ruler. In today's contemporary world, it is awe-inspiring to witness how these colossal stones have withstood centuries of weathering and remain standing strong amidst modern surroundings. This photograph serves as a reminder that even though time moves forward relentlessly, echoes from our past continue to shape our present and inspire future generations to explore and appreciate their roots.
