Ishtar Gate - Babylon 575 BC - Photo - Impressions

in photography •  7 years ago 

 This gate was uncovered during 1899-1917 at Babylon; it was situated in the northern city wall and was named after the goddess Ishtar.The gate is decorated with bulls, dragons and a mythical animal(seen on the second row from the floor); the animal has the head and body of a snake, the front legs of a lion and the back legs of a bird; and let's not forget the scorpion sting in the tail.
