- Monique Seefried, consulting curator of Near Eastern Art at the Michael C. Carlos Museum, describes this stone palace wall relief panel of an Assyrian winged deity from the Palace of Ashurnasirpal II (reigned 883-859 BCE) from the ancient city of Nimrud, capital of the Neo-Assyrian Empire, in present-day Iraq. It is north of Baghdad, 21 miles SE of Mosul.
I’m American/Iranian first generation and been doing a lot of soul searching and history learning during the last 4 years and especially on my background and finally someone has explained what the deal is about the handbag 👜 and pinecone combination. Thank you very much for your presentation.
Thanks for this great art and for telling us about it so well!
I am so happy that Ashurnasirpal's reliefs survived so that we got a chance to look upon them. Very interesting!
Bless Assyria
Thank you very much for your description. Enlightening.

"I have made a pillar facing the city gate, and have flayed all the rebel leaders; I have clad the pillar in the flayed skins... I let the leaders of the conquered cities be flayed, and clad the city walls with their skins, the captives, I have killed by the sword and flung on the dung heap, the little boys and girls were burnt." - Ashurnasirpal II
Great guy.
But a tiny thing compared to the fire-bombing of Tokyo...

And a tiny thing compared to the Japanese orchestrated massacre of Chinese men, women, children, and elderly in Nanking.
Brutális, kegyetlen hódító!
Hail to the mighty king. 3000 years later your offspring are watching your glory.
Could you please tell where does the citation of the ritual come from??
Does anyone know the name or spiritual significance of the hairstyle depicted in these reliefs ?
Nice
Bristol museum has them
The music reminds me of Mass Effect.
Nimrod became this strong mighty, bird like hunter after he put on the garments of Adam & Eve. They made him into a Chimera with super powers.
Cool story, Hansel.
solid beard game
So many ancient cultures from all over the world show figures holding that "bucket". What are other cultures beliefs of what it was for?
…..it’s a bucket. It’s not a difficult thing to make. It’s in all cultures because all cultures need to hold things.
@@henrylivingstone2971 no. It symbolizes something. Supposedly bringer of knowledge

No….it represents a bucket
@@henrylivingstone2971 yeah and the black cube in mecca is just a block. The cross is only two pieces of wood, and the star of David is just two triangles. Try reading a book instead of just eating the pages

Also….did you even watch the video? She said that the bucket is a vessel for holy water. It can be assumed that the image is reflective of an actual Assyrian ceremonies and it is representative of an anointing ritual.
So the bucket represents a bucket used in a sacred ceremony. But it is a bucket nonetheless.
ROMAN REIGNS
Ashurnasirapal is another name for Gilgamesh who's also Apollo who's also Osiris who's also Amraphel who's also Evil king Nimrod the 1st Anti Christ. At the Tower of Babel after the confusion of languages 70 tribes went 70 different directions speaking 70 different languages calling one man many different names
No…..ashurnarsipal was a real person. Gilgamesh, Osiris, and Apollo are all fictional.
