EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Punic stelae on the Tophet of Salammbo, a significant archaeological site in Carthage, Tunisia. Dating back to the 5th-3rd century BC, these ancient stone monuments were dedicated to the revered deities Tanit and Baal by the Carthaginian civilization. The image captures the intricate details and historical significance of these Punic steles. Standing tall against a backdrop of time-worn ruins, they serve as a testament to Carthage's rich cultural heritage and religious practices. The craftsmanship exhibited in each stela is awe-inspiring, with delicate carvings depicting mythological scenes and symbols associated with Tanit and Baal. Carthage itself was founded by Phoenicians in the 9th century BC, making it an important hub for trade and commerce in North Africa during its heyday. This photograph not only provides us with a glimpse into this ancient civilization but also highlights their deep connection to mythology and spirituality. Luisa Ricciarini's expert photography skillfully captures both the grandeur of these stelae and their significance within African history. It serves as a reminder of our shared human past while offering an opportunity for reflection on how ancient civilizations shaped our present-day world.
