minus-squareFiveTimbers@lemmy.worldtoHistoryPorn@lemmy.world•Photo of the Sphinx taken from a balloon before it was excavated. I can't find a date, but based on when it was excavated and the history of photography, some time between 1840 and 1867linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·2 months agoI too was trying to find the date of this photo this week. To narrow your time span, the first aerial photograph (also from a balloon) was taken in 1858 in France. So this photo had to have been taken after that point. linkfedilink
