EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, captured in 1842, offers a breathtaking view of the Great Pyramid of Giza, also known as Pyramid of Cheops, in Egypt. The ancient wonder of the world stands majestically against the backdrop of the vast, golden desert. In the foreground, a group of people and camels adds a sense of scale and brings the scene to life. The Great Pyramid, built around 2580-2560 BC as a tomb for Pharaoh Khufu, is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex. It is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still in existence today. The pyramid's original height was estimated to be around 146.5 meters (481 feet), but it has lost about 25 meters (82 feet) due to erosion and the removal of its outer casing. The people and camels in the foreground of the photograph add a sense of human connection to this ancient marvel. Camels, which were originally domesticated in the Arabian Peninsula around the 6th century BC, were a common means of transportation in Egypt and the Middle East. The inclusion of these animals and people in the photograph highlights the rich history and cultural significance of the region. This photograph, taken over 180 years ago, continues to captivate and inspire awe in viewers, reminding us of the enduring allure of Egypt's ancient wonders and the importance of preserving history for future generations.
