The Tigris at Nineveh - A Glimpse into Ancient Biblical Lands
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This coloured engraving, titled "The Tigris at Nineveh" takes us on a visual journey back in time to the holy land of biblical history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print is a part of a private collection and offers a unique perspective on the rivers and lakes mentioned in scripture. The image showcases the majestic Tigris River flowing through the ancient city of Nineveh, located near present-day Mosul in Iraq. The view encompasses not only the river but also highlights significant landmarks such as the Tomb of Jonah and the Mound of Kouyunjik. These historical sites hold great importance within Arab civilization and Middle Eastern culture. As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported to an era when these lands were teeming with life and bustling with activity. The intricate engravings beautifully capture every detail - from tombstones to crypts - reminding us of their significance as sacred sepulchres. This artwork serves as a testament to both biblical history and human ingenuity. It allows us to appreciate how civilizations have flourished along these ancient waterways for centuries, shaping our understanding of Africa's central region and its connection to Middle Eastern cultures. Through this print, we can explore not only geographical landscapes but also delve deeper into our shared heritage rooted in religion, culture, and history.
