The Ishtar Gate of Babylon

It was the eighth gate of the inner city of Babylon — and the most magnificent entrance the ancient world had ever seen. Commissioned by Nebuchadnezzar II at the height of his reign, the Ishtar Gate rose in towering walls of deep lapis lazuli blue glazed brick, its surface alive with rows of golden bulls and dragons marching in eternal procession across its face, its Processional Way flanked by striding lions announcing the glory of the empire to every nation that passed beneath its arch. This was the gate through which kings processed, through which armies returned in triumph, through which the captives of Jerusalem were led into exile.
