EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1891 takes us back in time to ancient Egypt, where priests are seen observing the stars within the majestic Great Pyramid of Kheops. The image showcases the profound knowledge and reverence for astronomy held by these Egyptian clergy members. In this nocturnal scene, bathed in moonlight, we witness a religious order dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of the heavens. As they gaze upwards, their eyes filled with wonder and awe, one can only imagine the depth of their understanding of celestial bodies and their significance. The Great Pyramid itself stands tall and proud in the background, its imposing structure symbolizing both human ingenuity and divine connection. A testament to ancient engineering marvels, it remains one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Stefano Bianchetti's masterful engraving captures not only a moment frozen in time but also an entire era steeped in antiquity. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, civilizations sought answers beyond what lay on Earth's surface. As we admire this artwork today, it allows us to reflect on how much our understanding has evolved since those times while acknowledging that there is still so much left unknown about our vast universe.
