In this episode, Mr. Bruns is heading back—way back—to the cradle of civilization: the Ancient Near East - Mesopotamia
Today’s episode explores five major works from the region,all of which speak volumes about power, spirituality, and survival in one of the world’s earliest urban landscapes. And we’ll explore them through two keyquestions:
1. How did cultural practices, belief systems, and the physical setting shape the art of the Near East?
2. How did materials, processes, and techniques affect what artists created—and how?
Works of art covered - White Temple and its Ziggurat
