EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Temple of Isis, a remarkable ancient structure built in the 1st century AD at the Roman city of Sabratha. Standing proudly on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, this temple was dedicated to the revered Egyptian goddess Isis, who is depicted here as a guardian and protector of sailors. The photograph captures not only the archaeological remains of this magnificent temple but also its intricate decorations and stunning architectural details. The stone carvings and sculptures adorning its pillars and columns are testaments to both Roman architecture and African artistry, blending influences from two distinct cultures. As one explores this historic site in northern Libya, it becomes evident that it was once part of the vast Roman Empire. The ruins speak volumes about Sabratha's significance during ancient times and offer glimpses into a rich past filled with cultural exchange between North Africa and Rome. Today, these remnants serve as a testament to human creativity and ingenuity. They invite visitors to immerse themselves in an enchanting journey through time while highlighting Egypt's mythological beliefs surrounding Isis. This photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst shifting sands in Libya's Sahara Desert, there are enduring treasures waiting to be discovered by archaeologists like SW who tirelessly work towards unraveling our shared history.
