Description
Detail on part of the processional walls connected to ancient Babylon's Ishtar gate, as on display at the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, Germany.
Ishtar was an ancient Bablyonian Goddess of fertility, war, love and sex. And the lion was her symbol, so no wonder these were part of the Ishtar gate and the processional way in ancient Babylon. The very lion in this photo witnessed untold numbers of religious processionals of the Gods' statues through the streets of Babylon during the annual New Year's celebration.
