"Enchanting Echoes of Mesopotamia: Unveiling Mystical Realms in Myths & Legends of Babylonia & Assyria"

Lewis Spence's "Myths & Legends of Babylonia & Assyria" transcends time, beckoning readers into the rich tapestry of ancient Mesopotamian cultures with the enchanting grace of Evelyn Paul's illustrations. Spence, a luminary in mythological studies, skillfully navigates the complexities of Babylonian and Assyrian mythologies, breathing life into forgotten gods, heroes, and cosmic sagas. The book is a mesmerizing journey through the Euphrates and Tigris valleys, where the divine and mortal coalesce in tales of creation, epic battles, and profound wisdom.

Spence's narrative prowess shines as he unravels the intricate threads of these myths, exploring the divine pantheon with scholarly precision and a storyteller's finesse. Each page is adorned with Evelyn Paul's evocative illustrations, transporting readers to the mystical landscapes of ancient cities and sacred temples. The synergy between text and art elevates the reading experience, making the myths palpable and the legends vivid.

From the creation epic Enuma Elish to the heroic exploits of Gilgamesh, Spence masterfully distills the essence of each myth, offering readers a gateway to understanding the spiritual and cultural tapestry of ancient Mesopotamia. The book becomes not just a collection of stories but a portal to another era, where gods walked among mortals, and the cosmos held secrets waiting to be unveiled.

In "Myths & Legends of Babylonia & Assyria," Spence beckons readers to delve into the heart of Mesopotamian cosmology, where chaos and order dance in eternal rhythms. This captivating exploration of ancient lore is a testament to Spence's dedication to preserving the spiritual heritage of civilizations long past. As the myths unfold, readers are left with a profound sense of awe and a renewed appreciation for the enduring power of storytelling across the ages.

Like I said in my previous post, here is my inktober ... began in october 2019 and finished far more latter in 2023.

All drawings are construct in the same universe : The Whoniverse and follow the Master. When he is not directly in the drawing, I considered the picture as is his point of view.

I love this quote when Missy speak to The Doctor : 'I've had adventures too. My whole life doesn't revolve around you, you know.'

I am currently working on the inktober list of 2020 still following this course of action. … so maybe, in the future some drawings will be add to these "jungle" themed adventures. One day I will probably try to write a lil' fanfic about these drawings. It might not be "this one"... I mean this adventure in the jungle … cos I have many other idea, and many sketch that I love.

All told, I have curently 40 pictures (.. and many other idea).

Anyway I hope you will enjoyed the journey.

Something that gets me about pseudoarchaology is the obsession with gigantic stone temples. Cranks see a pile of rocks or a funky hill and go “ooh what if it’s an ancient temple?” But like, a temple for whom? Where are the remains of the whole big urban city that a temple of this size would have been built to serve? Or do you dipshits really think ancient people just regularly built massive temples out in the middle of nowhere and made people hike?

Love by itself is neither beautiful nor ugly. It is beautiful, if it recognizes a virtuous love; ugly, if loved to shame.
