EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1930s, showcases one of the historic waterwheels of Antioch, now known as Antakya, located in the southernmost part of modern-day Turkey near the Orontes River. Antioch, an ancient city with a rich history, is renowned for its grand waterwheels, which have played a crucial role in supplying water for irrigation and raising the water levels for the Ottoman Empire's extensive agricultural lands. The massive, wooden waterwheel in this image is a testament to the engineering prowess of the past. Its intricate design, with numerous supports holding up the enormous wheel, is a sight to behold. The waterwheel's large size and historical significance make it a popular attraction for visitors to Antakya, who are drawn to the area's rich history and cultural heritage. The Orontes River, which flows through Antioch, has been a vital source of water for the region since ancient times. The waterwheel's function was to harness the power of the river's flow and transport water to the surrounding fields, ensuring the prosperity of the agricultural lands. This image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the symbiotic relationship between the people of Antioch and the natural resources that have sustained them for centuries. As we admire this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when waterwheels were the lifeblood of the community, providing essential resources for agriculture and daily life. The historical significance of this waterwheel, along with the beautiful scenery of the Orontes River, makes this image a must-see for anyone interested in history, culture, or the natural beauty of Turkey.
