EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Enchanting view of the Sphinx and the great pyramid of Cheops (Khufu) in Giza" we are transported back in time to witness a mesmerizing scene. Taken around 1870, the image showcases an ancient wonder that has fascinated humanity for centuries. The focal point of the photograph is undoubtedly the majestic Sphinx, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human. Its enigmatic gaze seems to hold secrets from ages past, inviting us to delve into its mysterious history. Towering behind it is none other than the great pyramid of Cheops (Khufu), one of Egypt's most iconic landmarks. The sheer size and grandeur of these architectural marvels leave us awestruck. As our eyes wander towards the foreground, we notice a group of camels gracefully standing amidst an arid desert landscape. These magnificent creatures add depth to the composition while also reminding us that this enchanting view exists within an unforgiving environment. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a portal into Egyptian mythology and ancient civilization. It transports us back thousands of years ago when pharaohs ruled over this land, leaving behind enduring legacies that continue to captivate our imagination today. Through Zangaki's lens, we are granted access to an extraordinary world where female characters come alive alongside sphinxes and hybrid figures from Egyptian folklore. This artwork transcends mere documentation; it becomes literature and fiction brought vividly to life through photography. With each glance at this remarkable print, we can't help but be reminded that there is so much more beneath its surface – stories waiting to be discovered, mysteries yearning for unraveling – all encapsulated within this timeless piece by Alinari.
