EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the grandeur and historical significance of one of Antakya's (ancient Antioch) iconic waterwheels, located on the banks of the Orontes River in the southernmost part of modern-day Turkey. The large, wooden waterwheel is a testament to the ingenious Turkish technology that has supplied water for irrigation purposes since the Ottoman Empire. The waterwheel, a type of noria, is a marvel of engineering, with its massive wooden supports and intricately carved details. It raises water from the river and distributes it to the surrounding agricultural lands, allowing for the growth of lush vegetation and abundant harvests. The history of Antioch, an ancient city rich in cultural and historical significance, is deeply intertwined with the technology of waterwheels. These massive structures have been a vital component of the region's agricultural economy for centuries, enabling the cultivation of crops in areas that would otherwise be arid and unproductive. The waterwheel in this photograph is a reminder of the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people who have inhabited this land for millennia. It is a symbol of the region's rich history and the enduring legacy of the Ottoman Empire. The Orontes River, which has provided the life-giving water for these waterwheels, flows gently in the background, adding to the serene and picturesque scene. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the agricultural practices and technological innovations that have shaped the landscape and the people of Antakya for generations. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving historical sites and the knowledge they hold for future generations.
