EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910, offers a glimpse into the enchanting city of Hama in Syria. Known for its rich history and cultural heritage, Hama is renowned for its 17 ancient norias, or waterwheels, which have stood the test of time since their inception around 1100 BC. These architectural marvels were initially used for the practical purpose of irrigation, harnessing the power of the Orontes River to water the lush gardens that thrived in this region. However, as the city evolved, the norias transformed into an almost entirely aesthetic traditional show. The intricate design of the arches, each one supporting a massive water wheel, creates a mesmerizing sight as the water cascades down, creating a soothing symphony of sounds. The norias of Hama are not just relics of the past, but a living testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the Syrian people. The norias are also closely intertwined with the city's aqueducts, which transported water from the mountains to the city, making agriculture possible in this arid region. The intricate network of waterways and structures is a testament to the engineering prowess of the ancient civilizations that once called Hama home. This photograph captures the essence of Hama's past, offering a glimpse into a time when these waterwheels were an essential part of daily life. Today, they serve as a reminder of the city's rich history and cultural heritage, drawing visitors from around the world to marvel at their beauty and engineering brilliance.
