1850 Back Ground Ibis Pyramids Sacred Species
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, dating back to circa 1850, showcases a stunning Red Ibis in flight against the backdrop of ancient Egyptian pyramids. The Red Ibis (Plegadis ferrugineus), a member of the ibis family, is easily identified by its distinctive red legs and bill. Although this species is native to Africa, it has been depicted in various works of art throughout history due to its striking appearance and association with the Nile River. Despite the common misconception, this bird is not the Sacred Ibis, which was revered in ancient Egypt for its symbolic representation of the god Thoth. Instead, this Red Ibis adds an intriguing contrast to the iconic pyramids, reminding us of the rich biodiversity that once thrived in the region. The photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when these magnificent structures still stood tall and the Red Ibis graced the skies above the Nile. This image is not only a testament to the beauty of nature but also to the enduring allure of Egypt's ancient history.
