EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur and historical significance of the Waterwheel at Antioch, located in the ancient city of Antakya, Turkey, near the Orontes River in the southern part of the country. The large, wooden water wheel, a testament to the engineering prowess of the Ottoman Empire, is one of several famous water wheels that have made Antioch renowned throughout history. Constructed in the 1930s, this water wheel, also known as a noria, was an essential component of the city's water supply system. Its massive size and intricate design reflect the advanced irrigation techniques used during the Ottoman era to support the agricultural needs of the region. The wheel, which stands tall against the backdrop of the river, raises water from the Orontes River and irrigates the fertile lands surrounding Antioch. The wooden supports, weathered by time and the elements, add to the wheel's rustic charm and historical allure. The intricate system of buckets and channels, which can be seen in the foreground, further illustrate the intricacy and complexity of the water wheel's design. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of Antioch and the Ottoman Empire, providing a fascinating window into the past. The Waterwheel at Antioch is not only a symbol of the city's past but also a reminder of the importance of water and irrigation systems in the development and sustenance of ancient civilizations. This photograph, with its timeless beauty and historical significance, is a must-see for anyone interested in history, architecture, or the wonders of the ancient world.
