EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring Great Stelae, a colossal monument believed to be the largest single stone block ever attempted to be erected by humans. Standing tall at an impressive height of 22 meters, this ancient masterpiece is nestled within the enchanting Northern Stelae Park in Aksum, Ethiopia. As one gazes upon this magnificent structure, they are transported back in time to a distant past where great civilizations thrived. The weathered surface and intricate carvings on the stelae bear witness to centuries of history and tell tales of a once powerful empire that ruled over these lands.

It serves as a reminder that our present existence is built upon the foundations laid by those who came before us. Jane Sweeney's expert photography skillfully brings out every detail of this old ruin, allowing us to appreciate its architectural marvels from afar.
