LINKS SOBRE ARTE, ARQUITETURA E FIGURAS

Babilônia Brasil recebe muitos e-mails solicitando figuras sobre arte e arquitetura da Mesopotâmia. Fundamentalmente, ao conceber Babilônia-Brasil, coloquei ênfase em textos modernos e antigos sobre a região pois o que nos falta no Brasil são fontes primárias textuais do mais alto calibre sobre o Oriente Próximo, fontes que tomem os Sumérios, Babilônicos e Assírios dentro de seu próprio contexto, e não como referências breves e desabonatórias feitas por povos que muito devem a eles, mas que jamais reconheceram a real importância da Mesopotâmia na formação de suas religiões, mitologias, filosofia e visão de mundo. É esta a lacuna que Babilônia-Brasil pretende começar a suprir. Entretanto, para também atender aos pedidos que me têm chegado em grande número, estou colocando à disposição de todos vocês uma seleção de links visuais, na sua maioria referentes a museus e coleções de arte da Mesopotâmia localizados em instituições da mais alta reputação.

Mais uma vez, agradeço a todos pelo incentivo. Babilônia-Brasil tem ultrapassado todas as minhas expectativas, e é uma delícia colocar à disposição este material fascinante e sentir que, de alguma forma, ele também é importante para vocês

Minha fonte principal para estes links é, como não devia deixar de ser, o ABZU MUSEUM INDEX, da Universidade de Chicago, EUA, que é a maior biblioteca de recursos em linha sobre Mesopotâmia, com os seguintes links:
