Monolith's Journey - A Remarkable Voyage of Ancient Wonder

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness the extraordinary journey of Cleopatra's Needle, an ancient monolithic marvel that stood tall in Alexandria for nearly two millennia. Encased within a specially constructed torpedo-shaped shell, it embarks on a momentous expedition from Egypt to the bustling Embankment in London. The image captures the essence of industriousness and determination as this monumental artifact traverses vast oceans and continents. Its voyage symbolizes the enduring legacy of an ancient civilization that thrived in Africa and the Middle East. The monolith stands as a testament to their ingenuity and artistic prowess. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness history unfolding before our eyes. The juxtaposition between modern vessels surrounding Cleopatra's Needle emphasizes its timeless beauty amidst a rapidly evolving world. This image invites contemplation about human achievements throughout centuries—how cultures have connected through trade routes, exchanged knowledge, and shared artistic treasures across borders. It reminds us that even after thousands of years, these monuments continue to inspire awe and curiosity. Rischgitz skillfully captures not only the physicality but also the intangible spirit embedded within this iconic structure. Through his lens, he immortalizes an exceptional moment where past meets present—a convergence of ancient grandeur with contemporary urban life along London's historic Embankment. Let this remarkable photograph serve as a reminder that art transcends time; it connects civilizations across generations
