A fragment of the ancient brick wall from the famous Ishtar Gate, covered in cuneiform writing and dating to around 604-562 BC, is currently housed at the Pergamon Museum in Berlin...

The Ishtar Gate was a massive entryway that led into magnificent ancient city of Babylon. Ancient Babylon was located in modern day Iraq, and was at its greatest from 604-562 BC. The city was home to more than 200,000 people during the reign of Nebuchadnezzar II. The gate was built for Ishtar, the goddess of love and war, and was one of eight fortified gates that led into one of the greatest ancient cities of the world. The Ishtar Gate sat at the end of the Processional Way, a beautiful street paved with bricks that stretched over half a mile leading toward the city. The great Babylonian King, Nebuchadnezzar II, built the gate in 575 BC to welcome visitors to magnificent city. The Ishtar Gate was covered in beautiful burnt and glazed bricks that featured images of dragons, lions and young bulls. The colors of the bricks were vibrant aqua blues and greens and yellows. The gate was more than 38ft high. It also featured an inscription with the words of Nebuchadnezzar saying, 'I placed wild bulls and ferocious dragons in the gateways and thus adorned them with luxurious splendor so that people might gaze on them in wonder'.

In 1899, German archaeologists began excavating the ancient city of Babylon, which stood in remarkable condition, including the Ishtar Gate, discovered in 1902. This gate, one of eight constructed at various times, symbolized Babylon's glory. Standing 12m high, much of the walls was still intact. Excavation led to the reconstruction of the Ishtar Gate, considered one of archaeology's most spectacular achievements. Over 200 local workers unearthed the site, extracting tons of soil and tens of thousands of fragments, enough to fill 900 boxes. Archaeologists meticulously restored the animal figures on the gate using the best-preserved brick fragments, replacing missing pieces with modern replicas. Thousands of enamel pieces were carefully assembled at the Old Near East Museum in Berlin to recreate the majestic Ishtar Gate.

The inscription of the Ishtar Gate is written in Akkadian cuneiform in white-glazed and blue glazed bricks, and was a dedication by Nebuchadnezzar to explain the gate’s purpose. On the wall of the Ishtar Gate the inscription is 15m tall by 10m wide and includes 60 lines of writing. The inscription was created around the same time as the gates construction, around 605–562 BC.

Translation :

"Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, the pious prince, appointed by the will of Marduk, the highest priestly prince, beloved of Nabu, of prudent deliberation, who has learnt to embrace wisdom, who fathomed Their (Marduk and Nabu) godly being and pays reverence to their Majesty, the untiring Governor, who always has at heart, the care of the cult of Esagila and Ezida and is constantly concerned with the well being of Babylon and Borsippa, the wise, the humble, the caretaker of Esagila and Ezida, the first born son of Nabopolassar, the King of Babylon, am I."

Reconstructions of the Ishtar Gate and the Processional Way are still some of the premiere objects on display at the Pergamom Museum's Vorderasiatisches Exhibit, or Exhibit for the Ancient Near East. The exhibit has 270,000 pieces that were unearthed by the German archaeologists working in the early 20th century in the ancient cities of Babylon, Assur, Uruk, and Habuba Kabira. Iraq has since requested that these priceless artifacts be returned. Mohammed Aziz Selman al-Ibrahim, an archaeologist, and official of the antiquities and heritage department of Iraq's ministry of culture, called for its return.

These antiquities have not been returned and continue to be displayed in Berlin. As, Germany contends that its excavations were legal, but modern sympathies about bad old days of colonialism make this a grey area.

She refused.

On this day in 1972, Watchman Nee died in prison.
God used Nee's work in China to create a system of underground churches that has survived and grown over the past 50 years. Many have come to know Christ through his ministry. Pray for the underground church in China.

The word Revelation means “an uncovering, unveiling, a disclosure of truth.” No human interpretation can reveal its meaning. But Jesus Christ can—and has—unlocked it! https://t.co/XAhWLVhis8
