EDITORS COMMENTS
Ploughing with Oxen near Pyramids, Giza, Cairo, Egypt (circa 1930s): A captivating image of an Egyptian farmer skillfully ploughing the fertile Nile floodplain with the help of a strong team of oxen. The serene scene is set against the iconic backdrop of the ancient Pyramids of Giza, adding a sense of history and timelessness to the photograph. The farmer, dressed in traditional Egyptian attire, is intently focused on his work, guiding the plough with precision as the oxen powerfully pull it through the soil. The plough, or pough, is an essential tool for tilling the land and preparing it for planting crops. The image showcases the harmonious relationship between man and nature, as well as the enduring agricultural traditions that have shaped the Egyptian civilization for millennia. The Nile River, the lifeblood of Egypt, nourishes the land with its annual floods, making it ideal for farming. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of Egypt's rich agricultural heritage and the resilience of its people.
