EDITORS COMMENTS
Sumerian Sculpture About 3000 B.C.: Unveiling the Ancient Civilization through Dr. Henry Frankfort's Excavations The Illustrated London News, published on June 9, 1934, brought the captivating world of ancient Sumerian civilization to life through an enlightening article by Dr. Henry Frankfort, the esteemed Director of the Iraq Expedition of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago. The article, accompanied by four evocative photographs, offered a glimpse into the groundbreaking discoveries made during the excavations. Dr. Frankfort's exploration of Sumerian sculpture dated back to around 3000 B.C. revealed intriguing insights into the artistic and cultural achievements of this ancient civilization, which flourished in the southern region of Mesopotamia. The photographs showcased the meticulous excavation process, with archaeologists carefully unearthing artifacts from the rich soil, as well as the stunning sculptures themselves. One photograph depicted a team of archaeologists delicately removing the earth from around a well-preserved statue, while another revealed the intricate details of a beautifully crafted limestone figure of a Sumerian king. The third image showcased a collection of smaller sculptures, each displaying unique features and expressions, while the final photograph presented a captivating view of a Sumerian ziggurat, a stepped pyramid-like temple, in the background of which stood several statues of gods and goddesses. Dr. Frankfort's article in The Illustrated London News provided readers with an unparalleled opportunity to learn about the Sumerians and their remarkable artistic legacy, offering a window into a world that had long been shrouded in the mists of history. The excavations, led by Dr. Frankfort and his team, brought these ancient treasures to light, allowing us to appreciate the richness and complexity of the Sumerian civilization and its enduring impact on the world.
