The way of the Gate is described in wikipedia: "The Berlin museums agreed with the Ottoman administration of antiquities in Constantinople that the finds should be brought to Berlin for "proper treatment and composition". So 399 boxes, each containing approx. 250 fragments of bricks, traveled by sea from Basra to Hamburg and via Elbe, Havel and Spree to the copper ditch in front of the Museum of the Ancient Near East. After the excavation work in Babylon came to a standstill as a result of the First World War, the negotiations between the Berlin museums and the newly founded Iraq Museum in Baghdad about the division of the finds were not started until 1926, and the Iraqi side was convinced that this was only possible the merging of the new finds with those already in Berlin a reconstruction of the gate is possible. And so in March 1927 an estimated 400 more boxes full of enameled bricks arrived in Hamburg, from where they were transported to Berlin. Friedrich Rathgen, head of the chemical laboratory of the Berlin museums, had already taken a closer look at the brick fragments in 1903 and decided that they had too high a salt content, which led to various leaching methods being used. For example, the fragments were placed in large vats of water to gradually wash out the salt, which took a year and a half due to the large number of fragments. The parts arriving in 1927 were subjected to the same procedure and finally one could start to sort the thousands of fragments according to their affiliation. Already in 1906, according to the reconstruction drawings by Walter Andrae, attempts were made to assemble the animal reliefs from the fragments, but some of the bricks were made to fit by cutting them over or overpainting them. This was not in the spirit of Andraes, who in 1928, after he was appointed director of the Near East Department, focused the reconstruction of the reliefs more closely on the actual finds. Basically, the bricks were left in their found state, only in the case of severe damage were some areas supplemented with colored plaster. [2] The construction of the Ishtartor and part of the processional street in the south wing of the Pergamon Museum finally began, in order to make it accessible to the public for the first time in 1930. However, although the gate was housed in the museum's spacious light room, the reconstructed version could only be built in a reduced version; reconstructing the actual dimensions of the gate in Babylon would have clearly exceeded the scope of the possibilities."
@@YY-rw2ft What you need to understand is that the things in the Berlin Museum including the gate of Babylon were given to Germany by the Ottoman empire, who in that time were in charge of the region. The Germans aren't the English, and they didn't Rob and steal because they didn't fight any wars in that region. These scientific expeditions undertaken by the Germans were allowed by the government of the respective nations. I wish you the best too.

Thank you, I enjoyed the video...

And why is this Gate in Germany instead of Mesopatania?
