EDITORS COMMENTS
Beneath the sun-kissed skies of Hama, Syria, stand the ancient Norias of Bechriyyat, a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the medieval world. Dating back to the 13th century, these monumental waterwheels have graced the banks of the Orontes River for over 800 years. Each wheel, up to 20 meters high, is a marvel of wood and engineering, harnessing the power of the river to irrigate the fertile lands of this historic city. The Norias of Hama are not just relics of the past, but living monuments that continue to play a vital role in the daily life of the community. They are an integral part of the intricate water channeling systems that have sustained agriculture in this region for centuries. The Norias of Bechriyyat are a symbol of the rich cultural heritage of the Middle East, a reminder of the interconnectedness of human ingenuity and the natural world. As the sun sets over the Orontes River, the Norias of Hama come alive, their wooden blades turning gently in the water, casting long shadows over the banks. The sight is a breathtaking tableau of history and nature, a moment frozen in time that speaks to the enduring spirit of the human race. This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, inviting us to reflect on the past and appreciate the beauty and complexity of the world around us.
