EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Sarcophagus from the Tombs of the Kings of Judah This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Carocci, after Giulio Ferrario, showcases a magnificent sarcophagus discovered in the Tombs of the Kings of Judah. The image, taken from Ferrario's seminal work "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1833, offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of the ancient world. The sarcophagus, adorned with intricate carvings and symbols, is depicted against the backdrop of ruins and a towering mount, believed to be Mount Zion. The Tombs of the Kings of Judah, located in the Judean Desert near Jerusalem, have long been a source of fascination for scholars and archaeologists due to their historical significance and the wealth of information they provide about the ancient civilizations that once thrived in the region. The sarcophagus, with its ornate decorations and grandeur, is a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the people of Judah during ancient times. The engraving, copied from Luigi Mayer's "Views in Egypt, Palestine and Other Parts of the Ottoman Empire," published in 1804, offers a rare and intriguing glimpse into the past. The image also features the ruins of the Tower of the Antonia, a massive fortress built by Herod the Great in 132 BC, which once stood sentinel over the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The tower, along with the other ruins in the background, adds to the sense of history and antiquity that pervades the image. This engraving is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the ancient world and the fascinating history of the region that continues to captivate and inspire scholars and visitors alike.
