EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the intricately decorated Babylonian Lion from the Processional Way of the Ishtar Gate, which is now displayed at the Pergamon Museum on Museum Island in Berlin, Germany. Dating back to the 6th century BC during the Neo-Babylonian Empire, this lion is a testament to the grandeur and artistic prowess of the Babylonian civilization. The lion, a symbol of strength and power, is depicted with its mouth open, possibly roaring, and its mane adorned with elaborate glazes and vitreous decorations. The Ishtar Gate, of which this lion was a part, was a covered, glazed brick structure that marked the eastern entrance to Babylon. It was named after the goddess Ishtar, the goddess of love, fertility, and war. The processional way was lined with similar lions and other animals, as well as mythical creatures, creating a stunning visual display for the city's inhabitants and visitors. This reconstruction allows us to imagine the grand processions that once took place on this ancient street, possibly during the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar II. The Mesopotamian civilization, with its rich history and impressive architectural achievements, continues to fascinate scholars and visitors alike, and this Babylonian Lion is a reminder of its enduring legacy.
