EDITORS COMMENTS
Discovered in 1853: The Great Gallery in Sakkara's Tombs with Its Imposing Granite Sarcophagus This image transports us back to the 16th of April, 1853, when the Great Gallery in the ancient necropolis of Sakkara, Egypt, was first brought to light. The discovery of this remarkable archaeological site marked a significant milestone in the exploration of Egypt's rich history. The gallery, adorned with hieroglyphic inscriptions, is a testament to the ancient Egyptians' artistic and cultural achievements. The dimly lit chambers, illuminated by the flickering glow of candles, enable us to appreciate the intricate details of the decorative motifs and inscriptions that align the walls. At the gallery's centre, an imposing sarcophagus made of polished granite takes centre stage. The sarcophagus, which was carefully imported from another location, is a striking example of ancient Egyptian craftsmanship and the importance placed on the preservation of the deceased's remains for the afterlife. The Great Gallery, with its hieroglyphic inscriptions and imposing sarcophagus, offers a glimpse into the lives of the ancient Egyptians and their beliefs about the afterlife. This photograph, taken during the early days of archaeological exploration, serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of Egypt's ancient history and the importance of preserving it for future generations to marvel at and learn from.
