EDITORS COMMENTS
The Forbidden Hinterland of Tripoli, Discoveries in the Unknown Sahara" captures a mesmerizing photograph that takes us back to the early 20th century. This image, taken by an English photographer, showcases a scene from an expedition into the uncharted depths of the Sahara desert. In this photo print, we are transported to a time when violence and fortifications shaped the landscape. Thick walls stand tall as silent witnesses to ancient civilizations that once thrived here. A Latin inscription on one of these fortifications hints at its Roman origins, reminding us of the rich history buried beneath shifting sand dunes. The photograph also reveals remnants of a Turkish fort and a southerly ruin, showcasing layers upon layers of human existence in this forbidden hinterland. The presence of caravans signifies both exploration and danger as they navigate through this unknown territory. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost hear the sound of marching footsteps echoing through the deserted town of Sokna. The fortress-like structures evoke feelings of awe and curiosity about what lies beyond their ramparts. This photograph is not just a visual masterpiece; it is also an archaeological treasure trove waiting to be explored further. It serves as a testament to human resilience and our endless quest for discovery amidst harsh landscapes like those found in Libya's remote regions.
