EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative late 19th century photograph captures the haunting beauty of the ancient ruins of Tous, once the esteemed capital city of the Khorasan region in Iran. Nestled amidst the rolling hills and verdant landscapes, the remnants of this once-great settlement stand as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of this fascinating country. Tous, also known as Tus, has been an important historical and archaeological site since ancient times. It was the birthplace of the famed Arabian philosopher Abu Hamid Mohammed Ibn Mohammed, also known as Avicenna, who was born here in 1038. Avicenna was a polymath, making significant contributions to fields such as philosophy, medicine, mathematics, astronomy, and logic. His works continue to be studied and revered to this day. The ruins of Tous offer a glimpse into the past, with remnants of ancient structures such as the mausoleum of Sultan Sanjar, the fortress of Tus, and the ancient city walls still standing. The intricate carvings and designs on the ruins speak to the artistic and architectural prowess of the people who once called this place home. This photograph, with its muted colors and atmospheric quality, invites the viewer to imagine the stories and secrets that lie buried within the ruins of Tous. It serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of history and the importance of preserving the past for future generations.
