Enameled brick with expressive images of lions and dragons coated these gates.
In ancient times Babylon was the largest centre of the Middle East. Babylon’s residents were very proud of their city, and it was not in vain that its name meant “The Gates of God”.
The talk about Babylon – this “queen of cities” – has spread to the most remote corners of the Ancient World. Babylon became the symbol of might, power and medley of races. Grand gates were blocking the entrance to the city, named after the goddess of beauty and love Ishtar.
