Friday findings: Fallen columns, Bubastis
When I saw this photo, all I could think was, I want to stand on those stones, I want to touch the water and the grass, I want to feel the wind on my face and know that I’m in the Delta, where my Mother’s worship was born, where the people once sailed in joyous procession for Her, the lady of the land, the waters, and the sun.
From the Das Digitale Schott-Archiv, an archive of photos by the German egyptologist Siegfried Schott (1897-1971).
