1932 Babylon Extinct City Iraq Ishtar Gate
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back in time to the ancient city of Babylon, specifically showcasing the magnificent Ishtar Gate. Taken in 1932, this image offers a rare glimpse into a bygone era when Iraq's rich history was still being unearthed. The Ishtar Gate, an architectural masterpiece constructed during the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar II around 575 BCE, stands as a testament to Babylon's grandeur and cultural significance. Its vibrant blue glazed bricks adorned with intricate reliefs depicting dragons and bulls evoke a sense of awe and wonder even today. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can almost imagine ourselves walking through those towering gateways that once welcomed visitors to one of the world's most illustrious cities. The sheer scale and craftsmanship on display here are truly remarkable, reminding us of humanity's ability to create enduring works of art. However, it is important to note that this image should not be used for commercial purposes. Instead, let it serve as a reminder of our shared heritage and inspire further exploration into the fascinating history of Iraq and its extinct city - Babylon. Thanks to the Liszt Collection for preserving such invaluable glimpses into our past.
