Reconstruction of the Ishtar Gate and Processional Way, Babylon, c. 575 B.C.E., glazed mud brick (Pergamon Museum, Berlin). Created by Beth Harris and Steven Zucker.
Marvelous. The Iraq history is so related to México history. the Babilonian Empire worship aegle. IT was so importat. IT was in every construction. And IT represents wise knowledge high awareness. México history is known for the eagle knights. Our flag has an eagle on IT.
I really love the history and civilisation of Babylon in Iraq 🇮🇶..... I will really visit that place one day...... But its also sad to say those hanging gardens no more exists now :(
I'm watching this as part of my art history class, but it's also good as a glimpse into cultures that aren't my own--past or present. Which is to say, each and every one. A lot of things have happened in my life, and any connection I might have had to my own heritage and culture was lost. Or rather, my own heritage is foreign. At the same time though, I've literally re-created myself as an individual from the ground up--identity, values, and such. And in watching all these videos, along wit connecting with different kinds of people (i.e. Muslims, Christians, people of different ethnicity and cultural backgrounds), I've already found a bit of myself in pretty much everyone and everything. These ancient cultures are no exception. All of this is important, especially today, with the current state of humanity and civilization. Even as someone with no real home or culture--who has to create those from the ground up--it's easy to see how we're all of each other. I'm still trying to figure out how to go about this, since proper channels don't really exist. But maybe I'm not the only one who feels that humanity needs a different path, and a different direction for themselves and their civilization. Looking to these ancient cultures and drawing from them is one way to go about it. Learning from the past to create a prosperous future is important.
What were the strange animals in the gate? I recognize the lions but there's one with a long neck, I've never seen that animal before. What is the story of it?
Babel is a city Not a race of people … They were Bedouin tribes of Amorites who later conquered Sumer 4000+ years ago and built many kingdoms Arabs are their descendants Same Y-DNA
@@someone-wi4xl arabs aren't related the babylonians have r1b not the y-dna And I'm also babylonian if you are babylonian you get on your fna test mesopotamian and the haplogroup R1B not the Y-dna and that's it
The colour of the brick is an interesting touch. At one point, lapis was considered more precious than gold. Perhaps veneering the brick with copper to give it the appearance of lapis, and using the term 'pure blue stone,' was to show the sheer wealth of the city and make people think it was the more expensive precious stone?
Thanks to the various museums that have saved these fantastic artifacts from destruction by the fundamentalists, so they can be studied preserved restored and copied, instead of being churned into gravel
He definitely knew kingdoms will come and go. Babylon being on top of his dream in which Daniel through God told him about it and the interpretation of his dream. Interesting in deed.
The depiction of the dragon is more reminiscent of the unicorn, perhaps influenced by stories of horses and eye accounts or word of mouth of the rhinoceros

@@daviddavis : Not at all. It was found in 10,000 and more tiny pieces. Packed in wooden boxes and transported to Berlin to be researched and reassembled there. About 90% of the blue glazed bricks you see today at the gate in Berlin were produced locally there with high craftmanship.
Never lost your real 💙🌼🦁🦁😉🌍🌏🌎 I don't know 🤫 but I love the place, and real Persian history and other side love Greek culture and ones Maybe that's the truth about all us. Legends and many similar stories in all religious book. And more and more people should be know the truth, not only scientists🌅🕊️🤫🌞 about making societies. My parents take me them when I was the child and thank you them for it and many historical places which they show me. Dad does good exist? Answer was only their calm smile. Give your child freedom 😉 in finding out the difficult and sad true.
I have been there, and what I didn't understand is, why the model is different from the real gate. Another thing, what good is it having the Gates of Babylon if we can't see them? Can't they get rid of some other stuff in Germany in order to make way for the complete Gates? Thank you for the vid!!! :)
adonis apolo because the real gate still in iraq you only hsve the inner smaller front gates beside why would we let you take the other gates from Iraq ?? This is our history not to mention that you should come to see it where it naturally belong ! Not see part of it in some muesum
if people go all the way to Germany from somewhere far, they may want to go to visit museum to see german stuff, i dont think it would be good to get rid of more things, i would like to also see more German stuff.
@@smarthistory-art-history its not part of the gate. it is the whole gate if not 90% of it. about a 100 years ago the germans demolished it in babylon and rebuilt it in berlin
@Reinhard Von müsel Just like their love for inflicting war, misery, and suffering on other nations. Did your governments actually care about the looted antiquities or were they only concerned by the profit they could make out of them?
@@WALDENSOFTWARE The glazed bricks were found scattered at the foot of the remains of the gate so all that was left to do for Koldewey and his team was to catalog, pack and then put the pieces of the mosaic together (easier said than done).
It does bother us to see our history in other places rather than Iraq but think about it after 2003 and the American invasion of Iraq and the chaos over there believe me it's better to keep those items in germany or Sweden or any other good country its safe in there if you take it back they will be stolen or destroyed or sold privately or Iran will take them but here everyone can see them and will have a better image about Iraq and more understanding of us and our history we were agreat nation and will rise up again in the future also the Germans says it is Iraqi item it does belong to Iraqis so they are not taking it or stealing it they are showing it for us
@@adamtx1131 I read somewhere that there was a group of Polish people that had been sent to destroy this in Irak, so in a way Germany saved it. Anyone know if this is true? Seems odd.
This peace of history should be in Iraq, in its original place or at least original region. Germany did a great job by the reconstruction of it, but they have to give it back.
Jeah, can't wait for it to be bombed to pieces, or ripped apart by the next terror group to throw the bricks after running iraqi soldiers. How about Iraq first get's it's shit together?
You are right Suleii This belongs to Iraq. This marvelous Babylon structure must be protected no matter what. I think the German Empire is a good option to keep IT safe. The Germans know how important this discovery is and how important is to keep IT safe. They know that Iraq history is so related to the German history. It's the same. So don't worry. They Sheltered away from any attack from the pale Empire that actually rules the world.
Historians have a pretty good idea of what Babylon's architecture, culture and religion was like thanks to the efforts of assyriologists that have been researching these subjects since the mid XIX century (if not earlier), so that now we have sources other than the Bible, Herodotus, Diodorus or Ctesias on Babylonian history.
@@lasersharksushi1975 im from iraq i prefer you keep it in berlin becuse iraq now is'nt safe .... you know how assrain ruins had been destroyed by isis Iraq steel still not safe .... in the future when build our country then ...its god to give us our ruins ...thanks fur saving this gate.

Is it possible these are glazed surfaces as is used on colored pottery? That would explain the thin chipping seen in the close ups.
Lol my art teacher sent me this
How did it look when it was first discovered? Any images of the gate in Babylon where it was first found? How was it transported to Germany?
The answer to the last question is: They took it apart and reassembled in germany (probably moved by boat)

@@salamalibadi4281 There are no other original gates left in Iraq. The one in Berlin is the one and only.

Was it damaged during the bombing of Berlin so that what we see is the reconstruction of a reconstruction
no - she said 'two and a half millenia' - that means two and half THOUSAND years - one millenium = 1,000
Tom Harrison yes the gate is 2500 years old (:
The video and Abdullah_2005 are right. The gate was built around 575 BC. Not much later, in 539 BC, Babylon was captured by the Persians.
Unintentional ASMR for sure

These are part of the actual gates which were reconstructed from many thousands of small, even tiny, fragments.

It's interesting that the British still possess most of the original gate with little outcry from the international community.
The gates are in Berlin, not London.
The British have a lot of stolen artifacts, but not this gate.
Pretty sure they would have been blown up by now if left there

They stole it piece by piece 😢
