Summary of Arte mesopotámico

00:00:00 - 00:05:00

This video discusses Mesopotamian art from the 4th millennium BC to the 5th century AD. The main materials used were clay and stone, with a lack of wood and metal making them less popular. One of the most important structures was the temple, which had an entrance on one side and a raised platform in the center for worship. Other important structures included the palace, which was a complex of buildings connected by corridors, and the tomb, which was an underground structure with an entrance on a raised platform. Paintings and reliefs depicting scenes from the gods' lives were common. The video features a variety of Mesopotamian artwork, including an example of an estandarte (flag), a zigurat (a type of column), and a leona herida (a sculpture of a lion with its hindquarters dragged).

I will not be able to finish the video without showing you some of the most important Mesopotamian art. The shield of Ur is a piece of wood decorated with both faces on this image. We see the face of peace on the left and the face of war on the right. On the front we see the royal lion's orange zigzag stripe, to celebrate his victory over the Lulús. This artwork was created in 2000 BC, 250 years before Christ. The scene of Hammurabi is the oldest legal text that we have, and it is a cylinder in black diorite. It was created in 1750 BC, and is the longest text in the Babylonian language. As for zigurats, I have chosen the zigurat of EUU, which we see currently. It
