EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ruins at Sais, an ancient Egyptian town in the Western Nile Delta. Taken in 1890 by an unknown creator, this image showcases the remains of a once powerful city that served as the seat of power during the 24th Dynasty of Egypt. The photograph is sourced from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History, Vol. I - Early and Greek History" by Edmund Ollier, published by Cassell and Company in London, Paris, and Melbourne. It provides a glimpse into the rich history and geography of Egypt during the 8th century BC. Intriguingly monochrome yet filled with intricate details, this engraving transports us back to a time when Sais was bustling with life. The background people add depth to the scene while emphasizing its historical significance. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing landscape along the River Nile, we are reminded of Egypt's cultural heritage and its enduring impact on literature, arts, and civilization as a whole. Despite being ruined over centuries gone by since its glory days under Mizraim's rule, these remnants stand tall as testaments to human ingenuity and resilience. This print serves as a window into our past—a reminder that even great civilizations can fade away but leave behind echoes of their grandeur for future generations to explore and appreciate.
