Summary
| Description |
English: Detail, part of the so-called inscription plaque (or building inscription) of the Ishtar Gate appears. The cuneiform inscriptions of the whole text read, "I (Nebuchadnezzar) laid the foundation of the gates down to the groundwater level and had them built out of pure bluestone. Upon the walls in the inner room of the gate are bulls and dragons and thus I magnificently adorned them with luxurious splendor for all mankind to behold in awe." These glazed bricks were found near the main Ishtar Gate during the German excavations of the area, 1902-1914 CE. Neo-Babylonian period, circa 575 BCE. From Babylon, Iraq. Pergamon Museum, Berlin, Germany. |
