EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1880s, transports us back in time to ancient Egypt and the awe-inspiring sight of the Great Pyramid of Giza and the enigmatic Sphinx. The Great Pyramid, the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex, was built as a tomb for Pharaoh Khufu around 2580-2560 BC. It stands tall at 146.5 meters (477 feet) and was the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years. The Sphinx, located nearby, is a mythical statue with the body of a lion and the head of a human, believed to represent Pharaoh Khafre or Khafre's successor, Menkaure. The Sphinx is a symbol of power and wisdom, guarding the entrance to the complex. This photograph captures the raw beauty and grandeur of these ancient structures, untouched by modern developments. The vast, arid desert landscape stretches out behind them, adding to their isolation and mystery. The clear blue sky and the golden sand create a stunning contrast, highlighting the intricacies of the pyramids and the Sphinx. The 1880s marked the beginning of mass tourism in Egypt, and this photograph may have been taken for personal collection or for exhibition purposes. The photographers of the time were drawn to the exotic allure of Egypt and its ancient wonders, capturing them on film for future generations to marvel at. This photograph is a testament to the enduring fascination with Egypt's rich history and the Great Pyramid and Sphinx continue to captivate and inspire us today.
