Cairo, Egypt 1920s in color [60fps, Remastered] w/sound design added
I colorized, restored, and designed sound for this rare video of Cairo, Egypt in the 1920s. The footage showcases both ancient architecture, tracing back to the Fatimid, Mamluk, and Ottoman periods, and modern European-style buildings, reflecting a city divided between the traditional Arab quarter and the business district. The video also captures the Pyramids of Giza, including the Sphinx, which had just been excavated from the sands. 00:05 CAIRO 01:49 EUROPEAN CITY 03:26 STREETS IN MOUKSI 06:06 TOMBS OF THE MAMELUKES 06:23 TOMBS OF THE KHALIFES 07:06 THE NIL 08:50 THE PYRAMIDS Albert Kahn, born Abraham Kahn in Marmoutier, Alsace, on March 3, 1860, and died in Boulogne-Billancourt on November 14, 1940, was a French banker and philanthropist. He amassed a major iconographic collection entitled Archives de la Planète, the world’s largest collection of autochromes (color photographs on glass plates) and black-and-white films, housed at the Musée Départemental Albert-Kahn.
