Ashurbanipal's weekend cottage
« on: May 10, 2022, 01:46:59 PM »
Nineveh in summer is just too dreadful to bear. Fortunately, we've got this marvellous place in the country to get away to over weekends....
The latest additions are those two guardian lamassu sphynxes. As you can see, they started off as rather strange earrings.

Looks like he brought the Ishtar Gate with him from Babylon...a century before it was built!

Lamassu sphynxes can clearly time-travel.

We just haven't found this one yet...... 

Not just strange earrings, but a strange name for the earring maker too!   lol
