A Scene of Ancient Transportation: Camels Crossing the Delta Barrage at the Nile, Egypt (circa 1910) This photograph captures a moment in time as a caravan of camels, donkeys, and their riders make their way across the Delta Barrage at the Nile River in Egypt. The Delta Barrage, constructed in the late 19th century, was an engineering marvel that significantly improved and facilitated the irrigation system on nearby farms. This expansion of the irrigation system contributed to the economic growth of the region. The Delta Barrage, located north of Cairo, is a complex system of dams, sluice gates, and bascule bridges. The bascule bridges, resembling the blades of a knife or slide, are raised and lowered to control the flow of water through the dam. In this photograph, the bascule bridge is open, allowing the caravan to cross the river safely. The Nile River, the lifeline of Egypt, has been a vital source of water and transportation for the Egyptian people for thousands of years. The use of camels, donkeys, and other animals as transportation remained a common practice well into the 20th century. This photograph provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing the ancient transportation methods that once played a significant role in the daily lives of the Egyptian people. The Delta Barrage, with its intricate design and engineering prowess, stands as a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Egyptian people. This photograph, taken circa 1910, offers a unique perspective into Egypt's rich history and the intersection of traditional transportation methods and modern engineering.
