EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the entranceway to ancient Troy, also known as the Entrance at Troy or the Bournabashi Gate, located in the modern-day village of Gergis in Turkey. The site of ancient Troy, or Hissarlik, has been a subject of fascination and exploration for centuries, with the first recorded excavations taking place in the late 1860s by German businessman and amateur archaeologist, Heinrich Schliemann. The massive Cyclopean walls of Troy, named for their seemingly impossible-to-construct size and shape, loom in the background of the image, their boulder-like blocks seemingly defying gravity. The entranceway, with its worn and weathered stones, invites visitors to step back in time and explore the rich history of this ancient civilization. A shepherd, with his flock of sheep in tow, can be seen in the foreground of the photograph, adding a sense of scale and context to the scene. The juxtaposition of the modern-day shepherd and the ancient ruins highlights the passage of time and the enduring nature of history. Schliemann's excavations in 1878 unearthed numerous treasures, including the famous golden mask of Agamemnon and the treasures of Priam's treasure room. His discoveries helped to solidify the historical significance of Troy and cemented its place as a must-see destination for history and archaeology enthusiasts. The Entrance at Troy, with its rich history and stunning beauty, continues to draw visitors from around the world, inviting them to step through the ancient gates and explore the wonders of this ancient civilization.
