Capture of Sarrapanu by Tiglath-Pileser II, 1916 - A Glimpse into Ancient Conquest
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, artist Evelyn Paul takes us back to the ancient city of Sarrapanu during the 10th century BC. The scene depicts a pivotal moment in history when Tiglath-Pileser II, the powerful King of Assyria, led his army to conquer and seize control over this Mesopotamian stronghold. With meticulous attention to detail and vibrant colors, Paul brings to life the intensity and brutality of war. We witness soldiers on horseback charging through the city streets while others engage in fierce combat. The invading forces overpower their enemies with unwavering determination. The central focus of this artwork lies in an act that symbolizes both victory and cruelty - the crucifixion of Sarrapanu's king. As a chilling reminder of Tiglath-Pileser II's dominance, his family is taken captive along with all their wealth. This illustration originates from Lewis Spence's renowned book "Myths and Legends of Babylonia and Assyria" published in 1916. Spence was a distinguished historian who delved deep into ancient civilizations' religious beliefs and folklore. Through this evocative image, we are transported back thousands of years to witness a significant event that shaped Mesopotamian history forever. It serves as a poignant reminder not only of humanity's capacity for conquest but also our enduring fascination
