EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the Temple of Venus, also known as the Temple of Aphrodite, stands proudly amidst the ancient ruins of Baalbek, Lebanon. Baalbek, a town nestled in the eastern part of the Beqaa Valley, was once known as Heliopolis during the Roman rule, making it one of the largest sanctuaries in the Roman Empire and home to some of the best-preserved Roman ruins in the Middle East. The Temple of Venus, dedicated to the goddess of love and beauty, is a stunning example of Corinthian architecture. The temple's remains, adorned with intricate Corinthian capitals and towering columns, evoke a sense of awe and wonder. The temple's grandeur is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of this ancient site. This photograph was taken by Colonel David Sutherland during the early 1940s. Sutherland was a member of a 12-man Special Boat Service unit that made a daring raid on the occupied Greek island of Rhodes. Following this operation, he took part in Operation Albumen on Crete, where 29 German aircraft were destroyed for the loss of one officer. After escaping with several Cretans who feared German reprisals, Sutherland captured this image of the Temple of Venus at Baalbek. The Temple of Venus, with its intricate details and grandeur, stands as a reminder of the classical antiquity that continues to captivate and inspire us. The ruins of Baalbek, and the Temple of Venus in particular, offer a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of the region.
