The Land of Edom is shared today between Israel & South Jordan & has a written heritage going back to Bronze Age references. I don’t profess to understand the troubles in this volatile part of the world but I do know that the land – and its histories – play a major part in the conflicts. From a sense of place and beauty, the current image reveals a vast open expanse dominated by the Red Sea & its visiting nomads, looking from ‘below Eziongeber (Idumea) looking towards Sinai’ and ‘from El Knab[?] “six leagues” south of Mount Hor [still subject to debate as to its precise location]’. In this area that has seldom known peace, various tribes, nations and invaders have jostled for space and much more, often betrayed by beliefs and sad intolerance. Yes, we know it’s naive, but if only that humans could prosper together. #history #authors #scanned #artdrawing #creatives #art #drawings #events #people #places #biblical #middleeasthistory
