EDITORS COMMENTS
This bronze Sphinx hails from the ancient Urartu civilization, specifically from the ruins of Tushpa or Toprakkale in present-day Turkey. Dating back to the 7th century BC, this magnificent artifact is now proudly displayed at the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, Germany. The Urartians, an ancient civilization in the Armenian Highlands, are known for their advanced ironworking skills and intricate art. This Sphinx, with its eagle-headed figure and winged body, is a testament to their mastery of bronze casting and their deep connection to mythology. The eagle head, a symbol of power and strength, gazes intently forward, while the wings spread out in a protective embrace. The Sphinx's body is adorned with intricate decorative patterns, adding to its regal appearance. The Urartians lived in the vicinity of the Van Lake, and their art often reflected the natural beauty of their surroundings. This Sphinx may have once stood guard over a sacred site or served as a symbol of power for a Urartian king. The Urartian civilization, also known as the Kingdom of Van, existed from the 9th to the 6th century BC. Their history is rich in prehistoric art and prehistory, and this Sphinx is just one of the many treasures that have survived the test of time. This bronze Sphinx is a reminder of the artistic and cultural achievements of the ancient Urartians, and a testament to the enduring allure of the past. Its presence in the Pergamon Museum allows us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of this ancient civilization, and to learn from the lessons of history.
