35. Ishtar Gate


From Isar to Ishtar, two non-German sounding German things. The Ishtar Gate was part of the processional way through ancient Babylon and was excavated and moved brick by brick to Berlin's Pergamon Museum. Even Bryce with his infantile appreciation of history was impressed. Now remember this amazing archaeological and architectual treasure has no relation or connection to this.
