La Puerta de Ishtar de Babilonia
Del fragmento al monumento
by Helen Gries
La puerta de Ishtar, decorada ostentosamente, era una de las puertas de la ciudad de la antigua Babilonia. Fue construida en el siglo VI a. C. por el rey babilonico Nabucodonosor II. Todos los anos, en la fiesta de Ano Nuevo, las procesiones de los dioses desfilaban por la puerta hacia el centro de la ciudad. Pero, como consiguieron los babilonios esos ladrillos brillantes? Cual era el significado de los animales de los dioses, el leon, el dragon y el toro? Como y por que llegaron los fragmentos a Berlin, donde se reconstruyo la Puerta de Ishtar a partir de miles de fragmentos en la decada de 1920? Que tan autentica es esta reconstruccion?
