Hannah Arendt was a Jewish German political philosopher, and a refugee who fled to America during World War II. To give the quote on the first sign some context, the sense is that nobody has the right to say "I was only obeying orders." www.basrelief-bolzano.com/en/content/arendt.html
La Estatuilla Cacique Quimbaya es una escultura datada aproximadamente entre los años 500 a.C. y 1.600 d.C., perteneciente al arte precolombino, en concreto está englobada dentro del arte quimbaya. Estatuilla Cacique Quimbaya Fue hallada en el año 1.890 en el yacimiento conocido como " La Soledad " por un grupo de huaqueros (expoliadores o saqueadores de tumbas). La Estatuilla Cacique Quimbaya se encontró dentro de una de las dos tumbas del yacimiento arqueológico. Localizado en el departamento de Quindío, situado en el centro-oeste de la región andina en Colombia. Después de su descubrimiento fue comprada en una subasta por el gobierno de Colombia. Hasta que en el año 1.893 fue regalada al estado español como agradecimiento por la mediación en el conflicto fronterizo entre los países Colombia y Venezuela. Descripción Tiene una altura de 22 cm y una anchura de 12, 5 cm. Está fabricada en oro, mediante la técnica de cera perdida. Se trata de una escultura de bulto redondo o exenta que representa una figura masculina en posición sedente. Representa a un cacique quimbaya, es decir, un jefe que presenta autoridades políticas indígenas, sin distinguir la diversidad de los sistemas políticos de América y de las nomenclatura autóctona. El cacique se encuentra representado desnudo y sentado con ambas manos, representadas de un tamaño menor en proporción al cuerpo, reposadas sobre las rodillas reposando. Estatuilla Cacique Qimbaya Se puede observar como en las orejas lleva orejeras de carrete (en forma de aretes redondos colocados de forma consecutiva). En el rostro destacan la nariguera y los adornos compuestos por agujas para la cara. Asimismo se puede apreciar como del cuello le cuelgan varios collares. Estos adornos son considerados un símbolo de poder y estatus. Respecto a la composición subrayar que el cacique está representado con una tipología relacionada con el consumo de alucinógenos, relacionados con procesos de trance (unos ritos religiosos practicados dentro de la cultura quimbaya). Para finalizar enfatizar que la Estatuilla Cacique Quimbaya forma parte del conocido " Tesoro de los Quimbayas ", además se ser considerada una de las obras maestras del arte precolombino. Actualmente se encuentra en el Museo de América de Madrid, España.

“Ophelia” by Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923) Private Collection, France
Japanese Dancer is inspired by the iconography of dances with fans, traditional kimonos and the beauty of Japanese hairdos, elements which are treated both sculpturally and decoratively. Firstly, through the etchings on the fans and the bas-relief of the flowers on the kimono. And secondly, with the use of bronze, metallic pink and pearlescent luster combined in perfect harmony. These exquisite details, with the crowning touch of the petals adorning the hair, celebrate the beauty of Japanese culture.

Ashurbanipal on a Lion Hunt They're back! We learned about the Assyrians in Chapter 8, and now they are making a re-appearance. For those new to my site, this is part of my history series where I share supplementary activities for Story of the World history chapters. If you aren't using Story of the World, you can still use this page to supplement your lessons: Just skip over the "While Reading Story of the World" section, and browse my suggestions of books and scroll down to enjoy the Assyrian Banquet activity. SUPPLEMENTARY BOOKS I almost always supplement our Story of the World reading with pictures from other books. Here's the books I used for this chapter. Your library may have other books that would work just as well. DISCLAIMER: Here and elsewhere on the page, I include some links through which I can earn commission (but, I usually suggest looking for these in your library, which of course is free). Mesopotamia - DK Eyewitness Book This book has been one of the books I've used the most during the first half of Story of the World. It's been the best picture reference related to all things about the various civilizations in Mesopotamia which Story of the World talks about. The index makes it easy to find what I need (though since it's not organized by nation/city-state in most places they are scattered throughout the book). Still, this is one I'm glad I bought. Bible Lands - DK Eyewitness Book This is a great DK book about the various places mentioned in the Bible. It's a respectful secular book that I thought I would use much more than I did throughout Story of the World, but I just ended up finding better illustrations elsewhere most of the time. It did occasionally have something I used though, such as the illustration of Assyrian siege towers I used in this chapter. The Assyrians by Elaine Landau While I was really happy to find a book JUST on the Assyrians in my library, and this had some excellent pictures, it's not one I would feel the need to buy. WHILE READING STORY OF THE WORLD SECTION 1: Ashurbanipal's Attack For this section we looked at several books. Really, DK Eyewitness Books: Mesopotamia would have provided sufficient pictures on it's own, but I had grabbed some other library books too, and picked the best pictures from each (it's nice sometimes too to have several books open at once so I don't have to flip pages). There are some slight changes between the revised and original version of SOTW you can find here. Paragraphs 1-3 We used the nice map in The Assyrians by Elaine Landau, which showed both the smaller area covered during early Assyria, and the vast area covered during the Assyrian empire. In paragraph 3 there was one semi-error. It said "The Isrealites were never allowed to return back to their own land again." But later in SOTW it talks about how they were allowed to return under King Cyrus. That was over a hundred years later, so those people who were drivien out by Ashurbanipal wouldn't have returned (only their descendants), which is probably what the author meant. Still, I felt like it was confusing so I skipped that line. Paragraph 4 DK Eyewitness Books: Mesopotamia pictures a carving of Ashurbanipal in his palace (pg 47), and an earlier Assryian king on a lion hunt (pg 44-45). I found a picture of smaller section of the banquet carving here (also included below, in the activities section). Paragraph 5 DK Eyewitness Books: Mesopotamia has a large picture of a section of carving showing Assyrian soldiers in pairs with bows and shields attacking a city and climbing ladders over the walls (pg 42-43). I found this same carving online here. I've found better pictures online of the archers and shield bearers recently (see below. You can click on the pictures to see them larger.)

This illustration shows two different styles of basket shield. Paragraph 6. Bible Lands, in it's section on the Siege of Lachish (pg 46-47), shows an amazing carving of Assyrian's using a siege tower and battering ram (and also has an artist's rendering of one), as well as pictures of Assyrian armor and weapons. SECTION 2: The Library at Nineveh The Assyrians had both artistic renderings of Nineveh and a picture of the formerly well-preserved ruins of the walls of Nineveh (sadly, I learned that Isis recently destroyed parts of these ruins recently, and also destroyed many other artifacts of Nineveh.) You can still see pictures of the gate that was destroyed Ninevah here. There are also some excellent photos, map, and reconstructions here (with pictures you can mouse over to enlarge). BIBLE STORY We followed this by reading the Story of Jonah in a children's Bible. VIDEO This amazing digital recreation of the city of Nineveh is worth watching.

EXTRA READING/ACTIVITIES An Assyrian Banquet Assyrian Relief of the Banquet of Ashurbanipal From Nineveh This photograph by Mary Harrsch is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International license. Did you know that people from this time actually wrote down their recipes in cuneiform? They did, which means we have lots of recipes, though it takes a little interpretation to figure out what they meant sometimes. Thankfully, there's some historian cooks out there who did the hard work for us. A fun activity is to make an Assyrian style banquet using some of these recipes. I suggest making some or all of the dishes below with your children. You could even have a pretend banquet, decking the table with fancy tablecloths and dishes and enjoying food fit for a king. The passage suggested below would be a great piece to read to set the mood before you eat. Silk Road Gourmet has a wonderful narrative description of an Assyrian Banquet in the first four paragraphs of the this post. I suggest stopping after the line "One by one the dishes you have waited all afternoon for are revealed" in the fourth paragraph, because after this she lists off broths to make a point--that the recipes on a translated cuneiform tablet were probably not all broths, but that, as she describes later... I don’t think that any of the recipes translated by Bottero are broths. Rather, they are general guidelines for the flavors of dishes that range from koreshes, curries and soups to braised meats and dry pilafs – it all depends on the relative proportions of liquid and solid ingredients. Amounts of ingredients are almost always absent, so the exact dish prepared is left up to the cook. A lot of the technical stuff after those four paragraphs wouldn't be interesting to most kids...but they might enjoy making the recipe at the end of the post for Lamb with Barley and Mint. Or not. Maybe lamb and mint isn't really a kid-friendly recipe (I remember disliking something similar as a small child). But, these other ancient recipes ARE a more kid friendly and also not too hard to make: Mersu - Type 1 What I especially like about this one is the note down at the bottom that Coconut (an optional ingredient used), "might have been known by the neo-Assyrian period." The Neo-Assyrian period is exactly the period of our chapter, so you can imagine this new and exciting food from abroad being introduced to the Assyrian court. Mesopotamian Wheat Bread Easy recipe kids would enjoy eating and making, with common ingredients. Last :: Next See All Story of the World Posts
