EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) transports us back to ancient Egypt, specifically the Saqqara region. The image showcases the Mastaba of Metchetch, also known as the pyramid of King Unas, which belonged to Dynasty V of the Old Kingdom. In this particular scene depicted on a fresco within the mastaba, we witness a milking scene that offers insight into daily life during this era. The mural portrays a farmer in full length and kneeling position, engaged in his agricultural duties. With great care and precision, he holds onto three animals - one adult bovid and two young ones - while skillfully milking them. This artwork serves as an archaeological artifact that sheds light on ancient Egyptian civilization's reliance on livestock for sustenance. The composition is beautifully executed with vibrant colors against a backdrop of other people going about their activities. It provides us with a glimpse into traditional culture and highlights the importance placed on agriculture during this time period. As we immerse ourselves in this historical masterpiece captured through painting techniques passed down through generations, we are reminded of how much our world has evolved since then. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only the artistry but also understand how populations have grown and civilizations have developed over thousands of years.
