El-Kab. Photographer: Douglas, James
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Archaeological Photography
View of a portion of wall, with a collapsed portion in the centre, at el-Kab, on the east bank of the Nile opposite el-Kula: '[el-Kab] occupies the site of the ancient Eilythias, which, judging from the extent of the city walls and the number and beauties of the tombs in its Necropolis, must have been a city of considerable importance. The wall — a portion of which is seen in the photograph opposite — must have enclosed about thirty acres. It is forty feet high and wide enough to permit of two chariots being driven abreast upon it. As usual it is built of crude brick, made of Nile mud mixed with a little sand, and dried in the sun.'
