EDITORS COMMENTS
Aerial View of the Pyramids of Giza, Cairo, Egypt (circa 1920s) This breathtaking aerial photograph captures the iconic Pyramids of Giza in Cairo, Egypt, as they appeared in the 1920s. The image offers a unique birds-eye perspective, with the three pyramids of Cheops (Khufu), Khafre, and Menkaure (Chephren) standing proud against the arid North African landscape. The pyramids, built as tombs for the Pharaohs and their queens during Egypt's Old and Middle Kingdom periods, are among the most famous structures in the world. The largest of the three, the Pyramid of Cheops, is the oldest and the only one still largely intact. The Pyramid of Khafre, slightly smaller, features a flat top that serves as the site of the Great Sphinx. The Pyramid of Menkaure is the smallest of the three and is surrounded by its unique valley temple. This photograph was likely taken from a biplane, providing an extraordinary view of the pyramids' peaks and the vast expanse of desert that surrounds them. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when these ancient wonders were still largely unaltered by modern development. The Pyramids of Giza remain a testament to the ingenuity and architectural prowess of the ancient Egyptians, drawing millions of visitors each year to marvel at their grandeur and mystery.
