OMG! You have done a really good 'job'! Your photos are GREAT!
I will be always in love with the Ishtar Gate and the Processional Way!
The Pergamon Altar is one of the BEST reconstructions I have ever seen!
It's not an Ishtar Temple it was the gate in the townwall where people came to visit Babylon from the north side of the town. Thanks so much for the 'Ishtar' book you gifted me. There I could read some interesting facts. The Processional Way was much longer than the part we could see at the museum, it lead the people from the north outside the town to the part where the Marduk Tempel and the smaller ones were. I think you remember the model of the big temple we have seen. I love it so much and it makes me thinking about how small people are and that they can do great!
Another view of the reconstruction. The Market Gate of Milet.
Here is a model of the original marketplace in a glass case. not a market place it was a temple/altar.
Atm I'm watching a BBC series about ancient history. It's interesting!
