Ancient historical monuments and the Biblical world opened to us thanks to New York Public Library Archive.
In fact, it all began in 1839, when French academic Francois Arago (1786-1853) mastered the new technology at that time. According to him, in order to “save time and effort and not to copy characters by hand”. In particular, he completely covered the historical monuments in Thebes, Memphis, Karnak and other places. Thanks to The New York Public Library, who has published an archive, now we have opportunity to enjoy it. Noteworthy, the gallery consists of 9000 photographs and illustrations on the theme of the Middle East, made from the 17th to the 20th century.
