EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Bronze model of a cult place, dating back to around 1150 BC. Crafted with exquisite detail and precision, this ancient artifact was specifically designed for the ceremony of the rising sun (Sit-Shamsi). The dedication inscribed on it reveals that it was commissioned by Shilhak-Inishushinak, the greatest king of Elam. Originally hidden within the masonry of a tomb, this extraordinary model remained unseen for centuries until its discovery. Now housed in Paris at The Louvre, it offers us an intriguing glimpse into the beliefs and rituals practiced during that era. The bronze model symbolizes not only a physical representation of a sacred space but also serves as a testament to human fascination with celestial bodies. Its intricate design hints at an understanding or reverence for astronomy and the solar system prevalent among ancient civilizations. Though originally intended for burial purposes, this artifact transcends its funerary context to become an object of scientific interest and historical significance. It stands as a vivid reminder of Elam's rich cultural heritage and royal lineage. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time - witnessing both the craftsmanship of our ancestors and their deep-rooted connection to concepts such as life, death, spirituality, and royalty.
