EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the Middle Kingdom necropolis of Qubbet el-Hawa, situated majestically across from Aswan in Upper Egypt. The image captures the essence of this ancient burial ground, showcasing its historical significance and architectural marvels. Dating back to the Twelfth Dynasty, which thrived during the XX-XIX centuries BC, this necropolis holds immense cultural value for Egypt and Africa as a whole. The artwork beautifully encapsulates the intricate details of Egyptian artistry that have withstood the test of time. As we gaze upon this photograph taken between 1960-1970 by Pietro Ronchetti, we are transported to a world where ruins tell stories of an ancient civilization. The landscape is adorned with remnants of funerary structures and monuments that once stood tall in honor of those laid to rest here. The non-Christian nature of these ruins adds another layer to their historical significance, reminding us that civilizations before our own held unique beliefs and customs surrounding death and afterlife. Through Ronchetti's lens, we can appreciate not only the grandeur but also the serenity that permeates this archaeological site. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity in constructing such awe-inspiring structures amidst breathtaking natural surroundings. This print from Alinari allows us a glimpse into history - an opportunity to immerse ourselves in an era long gone yet still resonating through these ancient ruins. Let it serve as a reminder of our shared heritage and ignite curiosity about past civilizations that shaped our present world.
