An American tourist has been arrested for smashing ancient Roman sculptures in the Israel Museum. The individual is citing "Jerusalem Syndrome" as a defense, suggesting he was affected by religiously-inspired delusions during his visit.

2,000-Year Old Statues of Greek Gods Uncovered in Ancient City of Aizanoi in Turkey

Archaeologists from Kütahya Dumlupınar University have unearthed several statues and heads of statues depicting Greek gods in the ancient city of Azanoi in central Turkey, according to a statement released by the university last week.

Stone heads of Eros, Dionysus, Herakles, and others were uncovered, as well as a full statue of an unidentified hero of Azanoi, of which there are many. The statue measures at over two meters, or just over six and half feet, and is missing a few chunks from its pedestal and foot.

“I hope that we will find this missing piece of the statue in the works we will do in 2023,” said Dr. Gökhan Coşkun, who is leading the excavations, in the statement.

Coşkun said that he had also hoped that the head of Herakles that the team had found would match a statue of the body of Herakles that had been discovered last year, but alas, it was not a fit. The researchers are on the lookout for the missing pieces to two different statues. There is an abundance of materials still being uncovered, making the prospect of locating these pieces quite possible.

“We reach new works every day,” Dr. Gökhan Coşkun continued.

Archaeologists from Kütahya Dumlupınar University took over the excavation of Azanoi in 2021 and, since then, have uncovered numerous treasures, such as fragments of statues depicting Aphrodite, Herakles, and Dionysus. They also began excavating the ruins of an ancient bridge. Before the archaeologists from Kütahya Dumlupınar University took over the dig, archaeologists with Pamukkale University had carried out the previous excavations in the region.

Though the city of Azanoi, and Phrygia, the kingdom to which it belonged, may be unfamiliar, it was the seat of power of many a legendary king, such as Midas, Mygdon, who battled the Amazons, and Gordias. The Phyrgians participated in the Trojan War and Phrygian music is seen as the originator of Greek music. This cross-pollination with Greek culture is the reason why so many temples and statues to the Greek pantheon are present in the region, despite Phrygians having a different language and their own ancient gods.

Azanoi would eventually become an important trade city in the Roman empire, located near the Aegean Sea in modern day Turkey, and it possessed one of the first stock exchange markets of the world. Today, the city is being considered for a UNESCO designation.

Rijksmuseum van Oudheden, Leiden

This Dutch museum has the largest collection of archeological finds in the Netherlands. I visited the exhibition about the Flavian emperors last year. They got a fresco from Pompeii on loan. Love the atmosphere in certain places like the Nehalennia altars.

It’s probably a good thing that whatever skills and willpower that led the Greeks and Romans to make those life-like statues hasn’t carried over into modern times. They’d all have hella shmeat nowadays, and someone definitely would’ve made one with a boner and fucked it.

変態

ローマの街中にはいたるところに彫像があり、私はお気に入りの翼のある彫像に注目して写真を撮るようになりました。 下の最初の写真は、ローマの裁判所の建物の 1 つの上からのものです。 4 頭の馬を乗せた戦車に乗ったこの翼のある人物はローマでは非常に一般的で、後でアラ コエリスで別の人物を見ることになりますが、その起源はおそらく古代にカピトリーノにあったジュピター オプティマス マキシムスの神殿にまで遡ります。 寺院から回収された像はありませんが、以下の像と同様の像が寺院の屋根にあったものであることは十分に記録されています。

@illegible-scribble said: With the old concept of gods being able to inhabit/see through the eyes of their cult statues, it’s fun to think about Pompey lounging in his in the curia, looking down on Caesar as he bleeds out at/on his feet

The Getty Museum Will Return a Cache of Illegally Sourced Ancient Sculptures to Italy

The life-size statues, depicting the poet Orpheus with a pair of sirens, will be returned alongside other works.

The J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles will return three ancient terracotta sculptures and other artworks to Italy after an investigation revealed the objects to have been illegally sourced.

Dating to between 350 and 300 BCE, the life-size statues depict the poet Orpheus seated with a pair of standing sirens. All three pieces, which are believed to have come from the Puglia region of southern Italy, have been removed from view as the museum prepares to return them to Rome in September.

An investigation into the alleged antiquities smuggler Gianfranco Becchina led the Manhattan District Attorney’s Antiquities Trafficking Unit to Orpheus and the Sirens, according to the New York Times. The unit and its chief, Matthew Bogdanos, seized the sculptures in April. The Trafficking Unit’s warrant listed the value of the three sculptures at $8 million.

“Thanks to information provided by Matthew Bogdanos and the Antiquities Trafficking Unit of the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office indicating the illegal excavation of Orpheus and the Sirens, we determined that these objects should be returned,” Getty Museum director Timothy Potts said in a statement.

By the time the statues were confiscated this year, the museum had already engaged in discussions about repatriating those and other relics.

Research conducted by Getty and independent scholars determined that four additional artworks, none of which have been displayed in recent years, were also eligible for return to Italy. These include a marble head and stone mold for casting pendants, both from the second century AD; an 1881 oil painting by Camillo Miola; and a fourth-century BCE Etruscan bronze thymiaterion, or incense burner.

The first three objects were acquired by Getty in the 1970s, the museum said, while the thymiaterion was purchased in 1996. The institution said it was working with the Italian Culture Ministry to determine a date of return for these artifacts.

“We value our strong and fruitful relationship with the Italian ministry of culture and with our many archaeological, conservation, curatorial, and other scholarly colleagues throughout Italy, with whom we share a mission to advance the preservation of ancient cultural heritage,” Potts said.

Previously considered to be among the Getty Museum’s greatest treasures, Orpheus and the Sirens is expected to go on temporary display at the Museum of Rescued Art in Rome.

After that, the Times reported, the sculptures will be relocated to the city of Taranto, in Puglia.
