Ziggurats, Royal Sculpture, and the Shaping of the Akkadian Legacy
Speaker: Marian Feldman – Johns Hopkins University
Rulers of the Third Dynasty of Ur built massive ziggurat temples in southern Iraq that replaced older iterations of the sacred space; yet within these complexes, they preserved and curated royal monuments from the preceding Akkadian dynasty.
As historic architecture is a key element in shaping a culture’s memories, it aids in the formation of its national identity. Deliberate displays of representational sculpture, however, permit new, interpretive narratives of the past and thereby also impacts national identity.
