Meer over het boek
Exploring the historical and cultural significance of the Ishtar Gate, this book delves into its construction by Nebuchadnezzar II in the 6th century BCE, highlighting the intricate glazed bricks and the symbolic animals—lions, dragons, and bulls—that adorned it. It also investigates the gate's role during Babylon's New Year festival and the journey of its fragments to Berlin, where a reconstruction took place in the 1920s, raising questions about authenticity and preservation of ancient artifacts.
