LA PUERTA DE ISTAR (o de Ishtar) fue una de las 8 puertas monumentales (10 metros de altura por 14 de ancho) de la muralla interior de Babilonia, a través de la cual se accedía al templo de Marduk, donde se celebraban las fiestas del año nuevo. El nombre de Istar lo recibe de la diosa a la que estaba consagrada.
Decorada con animales de colores brillantes sobre un fondo azul vidriado, fue levantada a comienzos del siglo VI a.C. por Nabucodonosor II al norte de la espléndida ciudad de Babilonia, cuyas ruinas están situadas a unos 100 kilómetros al sur de Bagdad.
A comienzos del siglo XX, un equipo arqueológico alemán, dirigido por Robert Koldewey, excavó la Puerta de Ishtar y trasladó sus miles de fragmentos a Berlín, donde fue reconstruida meticulosamente un o a uno durante mucho tiempo hasta completar lo que hoy podemos admirar en el museo de Pérgamo de Berlin.

Now, let's listen .
Let your name flow off my tongue, as rivers flow into their own mouths. Let your love part my thighs, as the Sun parts the horizon when it wakes. Let your worship cling to my skirts, as the Moon clings to its starlight.
Swallow it down, invoke me.

La vía procesional estaba situada al lado este del palacio principal y del palacio norte en dirección norte sur. La construcción esta basada en arcilla, arena y escombros.Entre los muros, la anchura de la vía era de 20-24 metros. Cerca de la puerta de Ishtar la vía alcanzaba una medida de 12-14 metros de altura. Los leones están en dirección contraria de la vía, simbolizan la protección del pueblo y quieren mantener alejados a bandidos y otros.
The Ishtar Gate was the eighth gate to the inner city of Babylon. It was constructed in about 575 BC by order of King Nebuchadnezzar II on the north side of the city. It was excavated in the early 20th century and a reconstruction using original bricks is now shown in the Pergamon Museum, Berlin.
Dedicated to the Babylonian goddess Ishtar, the gate was constructed using glazed brick with alternating rows of bas-relief mušḫuššu (dragons) and aurochs.
The roof and doors of the gate were of cedar, according to the dedication plaque. Through the gate ran the Processional Way, which was lined with walls covered in lions on glazed bricks (about 120 of them). Ishtar Gate depicts only gods and goddesses which include Ishtar Adad and Marduk. Statues of the deities were paraded through the gate and down the Processional Way each year during the New Year's celebration.
Originally the gate, being part of the Walls of Babylon, was considered one of the Seven Wonders of the world until it was replaced by the Lighthouse of Alexandria; in the 3rd century BC.
A reconstruction of the Ishtar Gate and Processional Way was built at the Pergamon Museum in Berlin out of material excavated by Robert Koldewey and finished in the 1930s. It includes the inscription plaque. It stands 47 feet high and 100 feet wide (14 meters by 30 meters). The excavation ran from 1902 to 1914, and, during that time, 45 feet of the foundation of the gate was uncovered.
It was a double gate; the part that is shown in the Pergamon Museum today is the smaller, frontal part. The larger, back part was considered too large to fit into the constraints of the structure of the museum; it is in storage.
Pergamon Museum, Ishtar gate
Parts of the gate and lions from the Processional Way are in various other museums around the world. Only three museums acquired dragons, while lions went to several museums. The Istanbul Archaeology Museum has lions, dragons, and bulls. The Detroit Institute of Arts houses a dragon. The Röhsska Museum in Gothenburg, Sweden, has one dragon and one lion; the Louvre, the State Museum of Egyptian Art in Munich, the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Oriental Institute in Chicago, the Rhode Island School of Design Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, Connecticut, each have lions. One of the processional lions was recently loaned by Berlin's Vorderasiatisches Museum to the British Museum
A smaller reproduction of the gate was built in Iraq under Saddam Hussein as the entrance to a museum that has not been completed. Damage to this reproduction has occurred since the Iraq war (see Effects of the U.S. military).

Yes really, that is the name he gave to me for this picture when asked for input and here we are.
On a related note, we are doing Beach Stuff ™ and more over at the beautiful Ishtar in second life. If you are looking for a vacation spot, we have nothing but positive things to say here. Additionally the dining experience is a must if you feel like a splurge and we greatly enjoyed it. But for now, we will be doing Beach Stuff ™ ...

So finally a relatively clear night last night, offered a shot I wanted to take for awhile, using my 600mm Tamron G2, I finally got a closer shot to the moon than my 300mm can accomplish. This photo is admittedly, slightly, cropped but I liked the 3/4 Gibbous leaving some of it obscured, airing a slightly mysterious scene.
I have to say though, I do not understand why Lunar Eclipses are so damn drawing of photographers, the moon goes through an eclipse in slow motion every single month!
I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! :)

Leave your crown. Leave your weapons.
Leave your armour. Leave your clothes.
Leave your titles. Leave your name.
Now you are ready to Enter,
to leave your body.
(paraphrasing from 'Ishtar's Descent' poem)
...
'Ishtar's Descent' is a poem about Love, Death and the role of Wisdom in our lives.
A story inscribed into a clay tablet from the time where it all started; in Mesopotamia, 5000 years ago.
I've been thinking about Ishtar's story for a while now, and the more I submerge my mind into it, the more parallel patterns I see surfacing and reflecting back in my own life's story.
The poem had become a deep river for me, I go under and resurface from it again, and again; being washed, being renewed, being re-birthed in wisdoms of the deep past and it's ever-flowing currents.
From my divings I've noticed two messages emerging and speaking to me;
The poem is speaking that Love is fierce, powerful, but also blind.
Love dies in the poem. Just like flowers, and only in it's death, Love can be felt, known and experienced in it's brutal, fatal Completeness.
The second message I read that Love dies, but also resurrects. Death is killing Love with thousands of diseases, but it is never the end of the story. Flowers need water. The waters of Wisdom can resurrect Love, so Love can resurrect Life again.
There is no growing Life without Love, but Love will never survive alone without the resurrective sprinklings of Wisdom.
This was true for someone who carved it into a tablet 5000 years ago, and it is true for someone who touches it into a tablet today.
Tablets are changing, truths are not. But they do get buried under.
...
'Ishtar's Descent to the Netherworld' can be read through the link below the main characters' names appearing in the poem:
Ishtar - Goddess of Love, Queen of the Heavens and Earth
Ereshkigal - Ishtar's sister, Queen of the Netherworld
Ea - God of Wisdom, Water and Creation

En la permanente revisión de antiguas pinturas de hace tres años, no sólo estoy pintando, también estoy revisando mis obras bajo otras nuevas miradas, me gusta presentar este detalle de la pintura con el Rey Macedonio Alejandro Magno entrando en la ciudad de Babilonia, Babel, a través de las Puertas de Ishtar, una acogida triunfal en la que sus habitantes se quitaban de encima al opresivo Imperio Persa de los Aqueménidas. Detalles de los cuadros sobre la historia del gran conquistador de Macedonia, obras del artista pintor Ernest Descals.
Soraya & Niko are spending the weekend at the beautiful Ishtar Hotel & Resort for a roleplay vacation of their dreams. Dining was also booked at the restaurant. (My trip is next weekend and I cannot wait!) They smuggled me in to snap up some cute photos of them for their stay. Stay tuned for more. ♥
