Iraq's Ancient Past: Rediscovering Ur's Royal Cemetery

From Ur, southern Iraq, about 2600-2400 BC

 

This is one of an almost identical pair discovered by Leonard Woolley in the 'Great Death Pit', one of the graves in the Royal Cemetery at Ur. The other is now in the University of Pennsylvania Museum in Philadelphia. It was named the 'Ram in a Thicket' by the excavator Leonard Woolley, who liked biblical allusions. In Genesis 22:13, God ordered Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac, but at the last moment 'Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son'.

 

The 'ram' is more accurately described as a goat, and he reaches up for the tastiest branches in a pose often adopted by goats. Goats and sheep in the Near East were among the earliest animals to be domesticated. They were an everyday feature of agricultural life and are regularly depicted by artists in many different ways.

 

The figure had been crushed flat by the weight of the soil and the wooden core had perished. Wax was used to keep the pieces together as it was lifted from the ground, and it was then pressed back into shape. The ram's head and legs are covered in gold leaf, its ears are copper (now green), its twisted horns and the fleece on its shoulders are of lapis lazuli, and its body fleece is made of shell. Its genitals are gold. The tree is covered in gold leaf, with golden flowers, the whole supported on a small rectangular base decorated with a mosaic of shell, red limestone and lapis lazuli.

 

The tube rising from the goat's shoulders suggests it was used to support something, most likely a bowl.

Iraq's Ancient Past: Rediscovering Ur's Royal Cemetery tells the story of the discovery and excavation of the Royal Cemetery at Ur in modern-day Iraq. The collection includes the famous gold and lapis lazuli bullheaded lyre, a "Ram in the Thicket" sculpture, as well as Lady Pu-abi's headdress and jewelry from ca. 2650-2550 BCE. The story of the excavations at Ur as well as the archaeological and historical context of the finds offer insight into this ancient civilization through its Royal Tombs.

 

Visit the Iraq's Ancient Past website.

 

In the 1920's, the Royal Cemetery of Ur excavations became one of the great technical achievements of Middle Eastern archaeology and now represents one of the most spectacular discoveries in ancient Mesopotamia. Deep within the site lay the tombs of the mid-3rd millennium BCE kings and queens of the city of Ur, famed in the Bible as the home of Biblical patriarch, Abraham. The tombs date to the period known as Early Dynastic IIIA (2600-2500 BCE), a high point in the history of Sumerian culture.

 

The renowned excavator of the cemetery was British archaeologist C. Leonard (later Sir Leonard) Woolley. In all, Woolley uncovered some 1800 burials. He classified 16 as royal based on their distinctive form, their wealth, and the fact that they contained the burials of household servants, male and female, along with clearly high-ranking personages.

 

The tomb of a royal woman name Pu-abi was intact and its contents typical of the wealth found throughout the cemetery. Like the other royal tombs, it consisted of a chamber set at the bottom of a deep pit accessed by a ramp. (Woolley dramatically dubbed these "death pits" because of the human "victims" they contained.) The vaulted chamber, made of limestone rubble, lay at the northeast side of the pit. It measured about 9 feet by 14 feet, with the ceiling 5 feet above the floor. Pu-abi's body--identified by an inscribed cylinder seal found at her breast--lay on a wooden bier in the chamber.

 

She wore an elaborate headdress consisting of gold leaves, gold ribbons, strands of lapis lazuli and carnelian beads and a tall comb, along with chokers, necklaces, and large lunate-shaped earrings. Her upper body was covered by strands of beads made of precious metals and semiprecious stones that stretched from her shoulders to her belt. Ten rings decorated her fingers. A diadem or fillet made up of thousands of small lapis lazuli beads with gold pendants depicting plants and animals was apparently on a table near her head. Two attendants were in the chamber with Pu-abi, one crouched near her head, the other at her feet. Various metal, stone and pottery vessels lay around the walls of the chamber.

 

While Pu-abi's tomb was intact, most of the other royal tombs were not. Some of the tomb chambers had been destroyed by the intensive digging of later graves in the proximity of the royal tombs, leaving only the pits. Others had been looted by grave robbers in antiquity.

 

Much surrounding the Royal Cemetery remains puzzling, not least of which is the extraordinary burial of retainers with the royal figures. Nevertheless, the artifacts from the tombs not only provide us with a glimpse of Sumerian society and material culture of the time, but they include some of the most spectacular examples of Sumerian composite art in a range of precious and semiprecious materials as well.

 

As provided by Iraq's first Antiquities Law, established in 1922, the artifacts were divided between the excavators and the host country. They are currently housed in the British Museum, the University of Pennsylvania Museum, and the Iraq Museum (Baghdad).

 

Iraq's Ancient Past features the unique artifacts from Pu-abi's tomb, which constitute the core of the Museum's holdings from the excavations. It includes her personal jewelry, as well as finds from the tomb chamber and burial pits. Additionally, the exhibit includes some of the more striking and important artifacts from other tombs such as a large wooden lyre with a gold and lapis lazuli bull's head; a silver-covered, boat-shaped lyre with a statuette of a rampant stag; and the world-renowned "Ram-in-the-Thicket," a statuette of a goat standing and nibbling the leaves of a tree or bush.

As the effects of DDT slowly leaches out of the environment, the population of birds like the Osprey and Eagle slowly rebound. Osprey have, once again, become a common sight on and along shorelines. This will inevitably bring these big birds in close proximity to humans. That being said, this male did not like my proximity to its nest on land or in the water. Although it never actually attacked me, I wondered if he might night try on several passes by. I kept a close eye on him and tried to keep my distance from the nest. There was no way of misinterpreting his intent gaze. I'm certain that he is frowning. If I were an osprey, I guess I would, too. #iLoveNature #iLoveWildlife #WildlifePhotography in #NewJersey #Nature in #NorthAmerica #USA #DrDADBooks #AreYouAFish #Canon #WildlifeConservation
