EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the haunting beauty and historical significance of the ancient city of Palmyra, Syria, as seen from the west around the year 1750. The photograph focuses on the remains of the Great Temple of Bel, also known as the Temple of Solomon or Temple of Baalshamin, which once stood as a grand testament to the ancient civilization's architectural prowess and religious beliefs. Palmyra, located in the eastern desert of Syria, was a prominent cultural center and trade hub from the 1st to the 3rd centuries AD. The city's unique blend of Greco-Roman and Arabic influences is evident in its impressive ruins, including the Temple of Bel, which was dedicated to the god Bel or Baal, the chief deity of the city. The Temple of Bel, built between 130 and 160 AD, was a colossal structure that measured approximately 55 meters long and 30 meters wide. Its impressive facade featured intricate carvings and sculptures, many of which have been destroyed or damaged due to the ravages of time and the various conflicts that have plagued the region over the centuries. This photograph, taken circa 1750, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the Temple of Bel's majestic ruins as they appeared before extensive damage and destruction. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Palmyra, which continues to captivate and inspire scholars, historians, and travelers alike.
