EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, an archaeologist is seen deeply engrossed in studying ancient rock markings made for the traditional game of Foruba. The image transports us to Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) during a time when exploration and discovery were at their peak. The archaeologist's focused expression reveals the intensity with which he delves into deciphering the intricate patterns etched onto the rocks. These markings hold secrets from a bygone era, shedding light on the culture and pastimes of ancient civilizations that once thrived in this region. Foruba, similar to solitaire, was not just a mere game but an integral part of daily life for these communities. As our eyes trace over the lines and symbols carved into the stone surface, we can almost feel the weight of history resting upon them. This photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of our collective human heritage. It reminds us that beneath layers of modernity lies an untold wealth of knowledge waiting to be unearthed by those who dare to venture into archaeological realms. Through this image, we are invited to contemplate how games and leisure activities have transcended generations, connecting us with our ancestors across time and space. It is a testament to our shared humanity and serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst ruins, there is beauty waiting to be discovered.
