Altar of Zeus, Pergamon/Berlin) |
A model helps to understand the scale, etc. |
The scores of friezes are arrayed on the walls around the altar |
Thus |
A smaller temple in an adjoining room |
The great gate to the agora, Miletus |
Again, a helpful model; judging from the ostentatiousness, we figure it lead into the Neiman-Marcus |
Welcome to the throne room, Babylon |
More of same |
On the royal boulevard (both sides of the hall) |
Me |
More humongous sculpture |
And now in the wonderful Islamic art section; an in-laid wood ceiling, said to be from Alhambra |
Part of a wall with reliefs |
And carpets and other stuff...pretty overwhelming |
