La porte d'Ishtar est une des huit portes de la cité intérieure de Babylone. Elle fut construite au nord de la cité en 580 av. J.-C. (empire néo-babylonien) sur ordre du roi Nabuchodonosor II. Cette porte est dédiée à la déesse éponyme Ishtar.
Ishtar, After-Second-Year* (i.e. 'older') female Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoneceus) is this year's Matriarch of the Marsh. Every spring I try to find at least one — a female that dominates her section of the marsh, in this case Michaelbrook Marsh, Kelowna, BC.
She is not only striking to look at but awesome to interact with. Like many male RWBls, she is both fearless and fearsome; in her case, even the aggressive males defer to her.
In looking for a suitable name for her, I looked into goddesses from ancient religions who were deemed awesome in multiple respects, and came up with Ishtar of Babylon (also know by some as Inanna from the Sumerian civilization). Here's her description from this website:
herbeauty.co/en/entertainment/7-ancient-goddesses-that-ar... :
"Ishtar, also known as Inanna, is one of the earliest goddess mentioned in written scriptures. Being both the goddess of war and love, this goddess from ancient Mesopotamia influenced the images of deities that came later (like the gorgeous Aphrodite from the Greek mythology). She’s the daughter of Moon god Sin and the sister of Sun god Utu. Ishtar herself is associated with planet Venus, that’s why she has beautiful appearance and is connected with love and sensual desires. She is also a goddess of thunder and storm, often depicted alongside a lion, whose terrible roar can be compared with the sound of a storm. According to some myths she went to the Underworld to rescue her husband, Tammuz, others believe she went there to rescue her sister."
And so, Ishtar she is. I have observed her several times throughout May 2022, and her behaviour is always challenging. I have yet to capture her flying above my head trying to intimidate me. She likes to get close and make her feelings know most assertively. Only an extended series of images taken on May 3, 8, and 18 can do her justice. I've tried to include a variety of situations and poses. and have included one image that is NOT Ishtar at the end for contrast.
*Only ASY females display the red shoulder badge we see on Ishtar. I've prepared an album of these ladies that I've collected over the years that you can see here: www.flickr.com/photos/8666250@N02/albums/72177720299309513/
Lions procession on the door of Ishtar was the eighth gate of the inner city of Babylon. It was built around 575 BC under King Nebuchadnezzar II in the northern part of the city. - Pergamon Museum, Berlin -
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.

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).

PUERTA DE ISHTAR
La Puerta de Istar (o de Ishtar) fue originalmente una de las 8 puertas monumentales (14 metros de altura por 10 de ancho) de la muralla interior de Babilonia, a través de la cual se accedía al templo de Marduk, donde se celebraban las fiestas propias del año nuevo. El nombre de Istar lo recibe de la diosa del mismo nombre a la cual estaba consagrada.
Fue construida en el año 575 a. C. por Nabucodonosor II en el lado norte de la ciudad.1 Se compone de adobe y cerámica vidriada, la mayoría de color verde debido a las esmeraldas (lo que la hacía contrastar fuertemente con todos los edificios de su alrededor), mientras que otros son dorados o rojizos. Estos últimos se disponen dibujando la silueta de dragones, toros, leones y seres mitológicos. La parte inferior y el arco de la puerta están decorados por filas de grandes flores semejantes a margaritas. La Puerta de Istar contaba también originariamente con dos esfinges dentro del arco de la puerta, que se han perdido hoy en día.
Los restos de la puerta original fueron descubiertos en Babilonia durante las campañas arqueológicas alemanas de 1902 a 1914.1 La mayoría se trasladó a Alemania, donde se reconstruyó la puerta en el Museo de Pérgamo de Berlín, en 1930, lugar en el que actualmente se expone. Algunos de los relieves originales de leones, dragones y toros se encuentran actualmente en el Museo Arqueológico de Estambul, el Instituto de Artes de Detroit, el Museo Metropolitano de Arte de Nueva York, el Instituto Oriental de Chicago, el Museo de la Escuela de Diseño de Rhode Island y el Museo de Bellas Artes de Boston.
Durante el gobierno de Saddam Hussein en Irak, se comenzaron a reconstruir grandes zonas de la vieja Babilonia, entre ellas la Puerta de Istar, cuya réplica se levantó sobre el antiguo emplazamiento de la original. El plan era convertirla en la puerta de acceso a un nuevo museo arqueológico iraquí que nunca llegó a construirse. Actualmente, la réplica se encuentra bajo la responsabilidad de la 155 Brigada de Combate del Ejército de Estados Unidos, cuyo campamento se encuentra dentro de las murallas de Babilonia.

The gate per se was a double gate, the reconstruction we can see today at the Pergamon Museum in Berlin was built using some of the excavated material in the 1930s, and it’s only the front portion of the original gate, which is smaller than the back portion.

“Venus Highland—Artist’s concept of Ishtar Terra, loftiest and most dramatic continent-sized highland region on Venus, is based on radar mapping accomplished by the Pioneer Venus orbiter. Western part of Ishtar is mostly a smooth plateau, but the eastern region, at right, changes to a huge uplifted, broken region topped by the highest point yet found on Venus, a mountain massif called Maxwell Montes. This version of Rick Guidice’s concept features the outline of the continental United States superimposed to illustrate the relative size of Ishtar.”
The above is an extract & paraphrasing from the July 1980, Vol. 11, No. 7 issue of “NASA Activities”. This, along with the “non-USA” image were both featured on the cover of the issue.
This is the ONLY version (of less than a handful) that I came across, that was of reasonable resolution & in color, since the NASA photo history…whoever, whatever it was, couldn’t even find the ball, let alone drop it.

Boa tarde pessoal, fiz uma sessão de fotos com a Ishtar, o que está bem raro de acontecer, antes eu tirava fotos das minhas Pullips pelo menos uma vez por semana, agora as coitadinhas estão esquecidas na cristaleira 0_0 agora tiro fotos a cada três meses e olhe lá. Então me inspirei quando estava arrumando as coisinhas das minhas dolls e lembrei que eu tinha esse mini violão e quase não saiu em fotos. A sessão foi bem rápida, só não foi rápido guardar as coisas depois 0_0

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.

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

Berlins Museum Island is a magnificent work of art in its own right, an extraordinary ensemble of five world-renowned museums on an island in River Spree right in the heart of Berlins city centre. The many highlights include the bust of Nefertiti and the Pergamon Altar.
I visited the beautiful bust of Nefertiti in the Neues Museum and the Ishtar Gate in the Pergamon Museum, and returned that evening to do some night photography of the Berlin Cathedral.
Another extraordinary exhibit is the Ishtar Gate and the Processional Street of Babylon, built under King Nebuchadnezzar II (605—562 BC) in what is now the Near East. The gate is decorated with blue-enamelled tiles and animal reliefs.

PUERTA DE ISHTAR
La Puerta de Istar (o de Ishtar) fue originalmente una de las 8 puertas monumentales (14 metros de altura por 10 de ancho) de la muralla interior de Babilonia, a través de la cual se accedía al templo de Marduk, donde se celebraban las fiestas propias del año nuevo. El nombre de Istar lo recibe de la diosa del mismo nombre a la cual estaba consagrada.
Fue construida en el año 575 a. C. por Nabucodonosor II en el lado norte de la ciudad.1 Se compone de adobe y cerámica vidriada, la mayoría de color verde debido a las esmeraldas (lo que la hacía contrastar fuertemente con todos los edificios de su alrededor), mientras que otros son dorados o rojizos. Estos últimos se disponen dibujando la silueta de dragones, toros, leones y seres mitológicos. La parte inferior y el arco de la puerta están decorados por filas de grandes flores semejantes a margaritas. La Puerta de Istar contaba también originariamente con dos esfinges dentro del arco de la puerta, que se han perdido hoy en día.
Los restos de la puerta original fueron descubiertos en Babilonia durante las campañas arqueológicas alemanas de 1902 a 1914.1 La mayoría se trasladó a Alemania, donde se reconstruyó la puerta en el Museo de Pérgamo de Berlín, en 1930, lugar en el que actualmente se expone. Algunos de los relieves originales de leones, dragones y toros se encuentran actualmente en el Museo Arqueológico de Estambul, el Instituto de Artes de Detroit, el Museo Metropolitano de Arte de Nueva York, el Instituto Oriental de Chicago, el Museo de la Escuela de Diseño de Rhode Island y el Museo de Bellas Artes de Boston.
Durante el gobierno de Saddam Hussein en Irak, se comenzaron a reconstruir grandes zonas de la vieja Babilonia, entre ellas la Puerta de Istar, cuya réplica se levantó sobre el antiguo emplazamiento de la original. El plan era convertirla en la puerta de acceso a un nuevo museo arqueológico iraquí que nunca llegó a construirse. Actualmente, la réplica se encuentra bajo la responsabilidad de la 155 Brigada de Combate del Ejército de Estados Unidos, cuyo campamento se encuentra dentro de las murallas de Babilonia.
