EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the enchanting scene of travelers encamped before the ancient ruins of Susa, or Shush, in Iran, circa 1835. Susa, an ancient city located in the southwestern part of the country, is renowned for its rich history and archaeological significance, dating back to the Elamite period around 4000 BCE. The ruins of Susa, visible in the background, include the impressive Apadana Palace, which was once the royal seat of the Achaemenid Empire, founded by Cyrus the Great in 550 BCE. The palaces, temples, and ziggurats of Susa bear testament to the city's storied past, which has been shaped by various civilizations, including the Elamites, Persians, Greeks, Parthians, and Sassanians. The travelers in the foreground, accompanied by their camels and horses, add a sense of scale and human connection to the historical site. The scene is a poignant reminder of the countless journeys that have brought people to marvel at the wonders of Susa throughout the centuries. The travelers, with their tents pitched and fires burning, create a sense of temporary respite amidst the vast, timeless landscape. This photograph, taken around 1835, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the world was a more adventurous and mysterious place. The image invites us to contemplate the enduring allure of history and the human spirit's innate desire to explore and understand the world around us.
