EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, captured by Brogi from Alinari, takes us back to a significant era in history. The image showcases the hauntingly beautiful remains of the Temple of Isis in Pompeii, transporting us to a time long gone. Dating back to 62 - 79 AD, this archaeological marvel stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage that once thrived within these ancient walls. Despite being partially destroyed by the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, its architectural grandeur still shines through. The photograph captures various elements that make up this religious structure. From weathered columns standing tall against time's relentless passage to an altar where countless prayers were offered centuries ago – each detail tells a story waiting to be discovered. As we gaze upon the worn stairway leading towards what was once considered sacred ground, we can't help but marvel at how non-Christian beliefs shaped societies during this period. This temple served as an important center for worship and spiritual rituals dedicated to Isis, an Egyptian goddess revered across cultures. Located within Pompeii's Archaeological Area, this site has been meticulously excavated over centuries. It serves as a reminder not only of our ancestors' devotion but also their remarkable architectural prowess. Brogi's photographic artistry transports us back even further than his own capture date between 1880-1890 ca. , allowing us glimpses into antiquity with every glance at this mesmerizing print. Let it serve as a window into another world – one filled with mystery and wonder – reminding us that history is alive within these crumbling stones.
