Antakya Antioch Remarkable Stones
EDITORS COMMENTS
This hauntingly beautiful photograph captures the Antioch Bridge, an ancient structure located near the modern-day city of Antakya in Turkey. Dating back to the Roman era, the bridge was a marvel of engineering and design, spanning the Orontes River and connecting the important trade routes between the Mediterranean and the interior of Asia. The image, taken in the 1930s, reveals the bridge in a state of decay, with the once solid stones now showing signs of decomposition. The passage of time, the relentless flow of the river, and the elements have taken their toll on this once remarkable structure. The bridge, now a relic of the past, stands as a testament to the enduring power of nature and the transience of human creations. Despite its deteriorated state, the Antioch Bridge remains an intriguing and evocative sight. The intricate patterns of the stones, worn smooth by the water and weather, tell a story of history and the passage of time. The bridge's crumbling arches and collapsed sections offer a glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the bustling activity that once took place on its surface. The Antioch Bridge is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Turkey and the ancient world. Its decomposed stones serve as a poignant reminder of the impermanence of human creations and the enduring power of nature. This photograph, with its haunting beauty and historical significance, invites us to reflect on the past and the passage of time.
