Egypt Sakkieh Ox Driven Water Wheel Agriculture Farmer River Vtg. Photo 19thC.
This quality reprint of a vintage photo shows a farmer in Egypt operates an ox-driven water wheel, known as a sakkieh, on a riverbank. This traditional device was essential for irrigation and agriculture in the region. The sakkieh, an ancient water-lifting mechanism, has been used for centuries along the Nile River and throughout the Middle East to raise water to farmland, playing a vital role in the area's agricultural history and development.
