THE LONYMPICS
WORLD HISTORY TOUR
The
Item, that was included in many Seven Wonders of the World Lists,
It is
a reconstruction of the Ishtar Gate, the eighth gate to the inner city of Babylon.
It was constructed in about 575 BC by order of King Nebuchadrezzar II on the north
side of the city. Dedicated to the Assyrian goddess Ishtar, the Gate was constructed
of blue glazed tiles with alternating rows of bas-relief sirrush (dragons) and
bulls.
It was originally considered one of the Seven Wonders of the world
until, in the 6th century AD, it was replaced with the Lighthouse of Alexandria.
It
stands 47 feet high and 100 feet wide (14 meters by 10 meters). The excavation
ran from 1902-1914 and during that time 45 ft of the foundation of the gate was
uncovered, after centuries of it being long buried.
