EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image, the sun casts a warm, golden glow over the ancient ruins of Alexandria, Egypt's renowned coastal city. The photograph captures the exterior of Pompey's Pillar, a towering column that stands as a testament to the grandeur of the Ptolemaic period. Adorned with intricate carvings and inscriptions, the column rises majestically against the clear blue sky, its once-white marble now weathered and worn with the passage of time. In the background, the remains of the Serapeum Temple can be seen, their once-vibrant colors now muted by the sands of time. The temple, dedicated to the Greco-Egyptian god Serapis, was a center of worship and learning during the Ptolemaic Empire. The image captures the essence of Alexandria's rich cultural heritage, a melting pot of African, Egyptian, Greek, and Roman influences. The scene is set against the backdrop of the African continent, a land steeped in history and mystery. The image invites the viewer to imagine the bustling markets, the lively debates in the philosophical schools, and the grand processions that once took place in this ancient city. The horizontal composition of the photograph, with the sun casting long shadows, adds to the sense of tranquility and contemplation. This photograph is a reminder of the enduring legacy of Egypt's ancient past and the beauty of its art and architecture. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, inviting us to explore the wonders of Alexandria and the Ptolemaic period. The scene is a feast for the eyes, a visual journey through the annals of history, and a testament to the power of art to transport us to another time and place.
