EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts an underground water cistern, a vital historical relic located in Massawa, Eritrea, circa 1910s. Massawa, a coastal city in the northern part of Eritrea, is known for its rich history and unique architectural structures. This particular cistern, located in the Taulud area, is an excellent example of the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people who inhabited this region. The cistern, with its distinctive dome-shaped structure, was used to collect and store rainwater for drinking and other domestic purposes. The intricate design allowed the water to be collected and retained effectively, ensuring a consistent supply even during the dry seasons. The cistern's location, underground, protected the water from the harsh sun and kept it cool, making it an essential source of fresh water for the community. The history of Massawa and its people is deeply intertwined with the use of such underground water cisterns. The city's strategic location along the Red Sea made it a significant trading hub, attracting various cultures and civilizations throughout history. The construction of such structures demonstrates the resilience and adaptability of the people in the face of challenging environmental conditions. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a period when such structures were an integral part of daily life in Massawa and other parts of East Africa. The cistern stands as a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people who built it and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving historical sites and structures for future generations.
