EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a collection of ancient Basalt caryatids, intricately sculpted guardians of the once grand Temple of Tell Halaf, located in modern-day Syria. Dating back to the 6th century BC, these magnificent statues represent a fusion of Eastern Mediterranean and Mesopotamian civilizations, showcasing the rich prehistoric and Neolithic heritage of the region. The Temple of Tell Halaf, an archaeological site in the Aleppo Governorate of Syria, was a significant center of the Halaf culture, a pre-Sumerian civilization. The caryatids, depicted as women with the upper body of a human and the lower body of an animal, are believed to have served as guardians and protectors of the temple. Each statue is unique, with some featuring the heads of lions, bulls, or sphinxes, while others are adorned with elaborate headdresses and jewelry. These caryatids are now housed in the Aleppo National Museum, a testament to the enduring legacy of ancient Syrian history and culture. Their presence in the museum serves as a reminder of the intricate interplay of mythology, art, and civilization that once thrived in this region. The photograph, with its clear and detailed composition, invites us to explore the depth and complexity of the ancient world, as well as the rich history of Syria and its people.
