EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Entrance of the Great Pyramid of Cheops, c. 1880" takes us back in time to the ancient wonders of Egypt. The image showcases the grandeur and magnificence of the Pyramid of Cheops (also known as Khufu or the Great Pyramid of Giza), which stands as a testament to human ingenuity and architectural brilliance. The entrance is flanked by two men, presumably Egyptians, adding a sense of scale to this awe-inspiring structure. Their presence reminds us that these pyramids were not only monumental tombs but also places where people lived and worked centuries ago. As we examine this photograph closely, we notice intricate graffiti etched into the walls surrounding the entrance. These markings offer glimpses into the lives and thoughts of those who once roamed these hallowed grounds. The photographer Langaki skillfully captures every detail with his lens, allowing us to appreciate both the enormity and intricacy present in this ancient wonder. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to an era when pharaohs ruled over Egypt's vast lands. This print serves as a reminder that even after thousands of years have passed since its construction, The Great Pyramid still holds an air of mystery and fascination for all who behold it. It stands tall as a symbol not only for ancient civilizations but also for humanity's enduring quest for greatness.
