EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, hailing from the 19th century, transports us back in time to the enchanting Garden of the Kings in the Valley of Gehanna, a small valley in Jerusalem believed to be the site of ancient sacrifices as mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. In biblical times, some of the kings of Judah are said to have offered their children as sacrifices by fire in this valley, which later came to be known as Gehenna or Gehinnom. The Garden of the Kings, nestled in the Holy Land of Palestine, modern-day Israel, is a fascinating blend of history and culture. The image showcases a picturesque scene of the urban landscape, with traditional buildings and winding streets, providing a glimpse into the past. The architecture of the residences and structures, with their unique designs and intricate details, offer a glimpse into the rich heritage and history of the region. The photograph, taken during the 1870s, 1880s, or 1890s, showcases the beauty and tranquility of the valley, with its lush greenery and stunning vistas. The Garden of the Kings stands as a testament to the resilience and enduring spirit of the people who have called this land home for centuries. The image serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating our historical and cultural heritage, as we continue to explore and learn from the past.
