EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ancient artistry of King Sulumeli hunting lions in Malatya, dating back to the 11th-9th century BC. The stone bas-relief, displayed at the Museum of Anatolian Civilisations in Ankara, Turkey, showcases a remarkable scene from Hittite history. In this intricate sculpture, we witness King Sulumeli's bravery and skill as he confronts ferocious lions with an axe in hand and a helmet on his head. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of the chisel, bringing life to both the majestic king and his formidable adversaries. The relief stands as a testament to the Hittite civilization's reverence for nature and their prowess in hunting. It symbolizes not only physical strength but also leadership qualities attributed to kingship during that era. As we gaze upon this artwork today, it transports us back thousands of years into an ancient world filled with adventure and danger. We can almost hear the roar of the lions echoing through time while marveling at King Sulumeli's courage. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage. It reminds us that even though centuries have passed since its creation, art continues to bridge gaps between civilizations by preserving stories like those depicted here for generations to come.
