The Ishtar Gate, a ceremonial gate from the palace of Nebuchadnezzar at Babylon, reconstructed and housed in the Staatliche Museum, Berlin, is the merging of ancient and modern culture, old goddess-centred religions and the scholarly, rational West. This work testifies to the author's belief in the indefatigable forces of poetry and imagination.
