EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the ancient ruins in Crete, specifically at Knossos, which served as the center of the remarkable Minoan civilization. The image showcases a magnificent castle that once stood proudly amidst this extinct city, offering a glimpse into its glorious past. What sets this archaeological site apart is its advanced infrastructure for its time - an impressive sewage system and flush toilets that were unparalleled during that era. The photograph also highlights another astonishing feat achieved by these ingenious people: water was ingeniously piped in from a distance of 7 miles away to ensure a constant supply within their city walls. This technological marvel demonstrates the Minoans' mastery over engineering and their commitment to creating a comfortable living environment. As we delve into history through this image, we are transported back to 1950s Greece when this snapshot was taken by Liszt Collection. It serves as a reminder of how civilizations rise and fall, leaving behind remnants like these ruins on Crete. Through such artifacts, we gain insight into our ancestors' achievements and appreciate their contributions to human progress. This print not only captures architectural wonders but also sparks curiosity about the lives led by those who inhabited this now-extinct city. It invites us to explore further and uncover more secrets hidden within these ancient walls.
