EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic Nilometer in Cairo, Egypt, a site of immense historical significance that has played a crucial role in the agricultural and cultural life of the region for thousands of years. The Nilometer, located at the southern end of the Roda Island in the heart of the city, was used to measure the annual flooding of the Nile River, which provided essential irrigation water for the fertile lands of Egypt. The image shows the intricately carved ancient structure, with its vertical shaft and series of graduated markings, standing proudly against the backdrop of the modern cityscape. The Nilometer dates back to the 8th or 9th century AD, and its precise measurements were used to predict the annual flood's timing and intensity, allowing farmers to prepare their lands and communities to make the most of the precious water resource. The photograph also holds a deeper historical significance as it is traditionally believed to be the site where Miriam, the sister of Moses, discovered him floating in the Nile in a basket. The biblical story of Moses' discovery is a powerful symbol of hope and survival, and the Nilometer's proximity to the Nile adds an extra layer of meaning to this image. The photograph, taken in the late 1970s, showcases the contrast between the ancient and modern worlds, with the Nilometer standing as a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the human spirit. The palm trees lining the banks of the Nile add a touch of greenery and serenity to the scene, emphasizing the importance of water in the region's history and culture.
