Man Guiding Water Buffalo To Turn Irrigation Wheel — Clip Details

A man in traditional attire guides a water buffalo pulling a wooden irrigation device in rural Cairo, Egypt, in 1946. The vintage 8mm footage captures the animal straining against a yoke as it turns a large wooden wheel, likely for crop irrigation. Palm trees and green fields frame the scene under bright daylight, with visible film grain and color fading characteristic of mid-20th century home movies. The man holds a stick, directing the animal as it moves in a circular path, showcasing traditional agricultural practices in the Nile Valley.
