EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of the Arab invasion of Egypt in 639 AD, as depicted in the historical record. The Sphinx, an iconic symbol of ancient Egyptian civilization, stands guard over the desert landscape, its enigmatic expression seemingly unchanged by the tumultuous events unfolding around it. The Arab army, led by Amr ibn Al-As, is depicted in the foreground, their banners raised high as they approach the great monument. The desert behind them is dotted with the tents of their encampment, and the pyramids of Giza can be seen in the distance. The Arab invasion marked a turning point in world history, as the Islamic world expanded beyond the Arabian Peninsula and spread across North Africa and the Middle East. Egypt, with its rich cultural heritage and strategic location, was a key prize in this expansion. The conquest of Egypt by the Arabs not only brought an end to the ancient Egyptian civilization but also marked the beginning of a new era in the region's history. Despite the significance of this historical event, the exact details of the invasion and the encounter between the Arab army and the Sphinx remain shrouded in mystery. Some accounts suggest that Amr ibn Al-As himself rode past the Sphinx and addressed it, asking for its permission to enter Egypt. Others tell of the Sphinx's transformation into a lion when the Arab army approached, only to be calmed by Amr's peaceful intentions. Regardless of the truth behind these stories, this image captures the awe-inspiring majesty of the Sphinx and the historical significance of the Arab invasion of Egypt. It serves as a reminder of the rich and complex history of the region and the enduring power of its iconic symbols.
