EDITORS COMMENTS
A captivating image of a camel caravan making its way through the picturesque village of Kafar Tkerime, located near Aleppo in Syria. The photograph, taken in the circa 1950s, showcases the unique architecture of the conical houses that line the village streets. These structures, built with traditional Syrian design, were specifically crafted to remain cool during the scorching summer months. The caravan, laden with goods for trade, adds an intriguing element to the scene, highlighting the historical significance of this ancient route. The camels, with their humped backs and resilient demeanor, have long been a symbol of the desert and the tenacity of the people who have traversed these lands for centuries. The conical houses, with their distinct shape and architectural style, stand as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Syria and the ingenuity of its people. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when life was simpler, and the world was more interconnected through the ancient trade routes that crisscrossed the Middle East.
