EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Oxus River (Amu Darya) as it flows gently eastward near Khami-ab, close to the ancient city of Khoja-Saleh in present-day Afghanistan. The year is 1885, and the scene reveals a tranquil moment in time, with the river supplying life-giving water to the ancient oasis kingdoms of Khiva and Khwarism. The majestic mountains in the background frame the image, their peaks crowned with snow, while the river's shoreline is dotted with birds, adding a touch of natural beauty to the scene. The Oxus River, also known as the Amu Darya, has been a vital source of irrigation for the people of Central Asia for millennia. Its waters have sustained civilizations and supported agriculture in this arid region, making it a lifeline for the communities that have thrived along its banks. The photograph was taken during a time when European explorers and surveyors were mapping and documenting the region. The presence of the surveying equipment in the foreground serves as a reminder of the ongoing efforts to understand and explore the world around us. The image invites us to reflect on the rich history of this region and the enduring importance of water in shaping human civilization.
