EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the early 1910s, transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Rabat, Morocco. The image, however, also carries us halfway across the continent to ancient Egypt, as our gaze is drawn to the massive pylon of the Horus Temple in Edfu, Egypt, skillfully framed within the scene. The Horus Temple, dedicated to the ancient Egyptian gods Horus and Hathor of Dendera, is a marvel of ancient architecture. The colossal pylon, with its intricately carved entrance, stands as a testament to the grandeur and power of the Egyptian civilization. The temple complex, located on the western bank of the Nile River, is believed to have been constructed during the Ptolemaic period, around 331-30 BC. The photograph, taken on Boulevard Gourand in Rabat, Morocco, offers a unique juxtaposition of old and new. The vibrant fruit market in the foreground, with its colorful displays of fresh produce and bustling activity, contrasts sharply with the ancient temple in the background. The blend of the modern and the ancient, the exotic and the familiar, invites us to reflect on the rich history and cultural diversity of Africa. The intricate carvings on the temple entrance, depicting scenes from Egyptian mythology, are a feast for the eyes. The sun-kissed sandstone walls, the intricate details of the carvings, and the sense of history that permeates the image, make this photograph a must-see for anyone with an interest in ancient civilizations, African history, or simply the beauty of the world around us.
