EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Hittite civilization: a stele carved in basalt depicting the god of the Tempete. Dating back to the 9th century BC, this neo-Hittite masterpiece was discovered in Babylon and now resides in the Archaeological Museum of Istanbul. Standing at an impressive height of 141 cm, this intricately carved stele offers a glimpse into the rich mythology and artistry of ancient Mesopotamia. The god of the Tempete is depicted with great skill and attention to detail, reflecting both religious beliefs and artistic techniques prevalent during that era. The significance of this artifact extends beyond its aesthetic appeal. It serves as a testament to the thriving Arab civilization that once flourished in Iraq and throughout the Middle East. As we admire this piece, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how mythological characters were revered by our ancestors. Luisa Ricciarini's expert photography captures every nuance of this extraordinary carving, allowing us to appreciate its historical importance even more deeply. This image not only preserves an important part of human history but also inspires us to explore further into antiquity and unravel more mysteries hidden within ancient civilizations like Hittite culture.
