EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken in the 1980s, a group of Bedouin women are seen gathered around a donkey in the ancient city of Palmyra, Syria. The women, dressed in traditional clothing, appear deep in conversation as they go about their daily tasks. The rugged terrain and arid landscape of Palmyra are evident in the background, with the ruins of the ancient city's iconic towers and columns peeking through the hazy distance. The Bedouin people have a rich history in the region, with a nomadic way of life that has been passed down through generations. They have long been known for their resilience and adaptability to the harsh desert conditions. In this image, we see the women of the tribe going about their business, demonstrating their strength and resourcefulness. The donkey, a common mode of transportation in the region, is an essential part of their daily life. Palmyra, with its unique blend of ancient Roman, Greek, and Arabic influences, has long been a cultural and historical treasure. The city, which was once a major trade hub, has been a source of fascination for travelers and scholars for centuries. In recent years, however, it has faced significant challenges, including destruction and looting during the Syrian civil war. This photograph, taken by Hubertus Kanus for Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into a time when Palmyra was a thriving cultural center, and the Bedouin people continued to live in harmony with the ancient ruins that surrounded them. It is a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving the rich cultural heritage of the Middle East and the resilience of the people who call it home.
