Tower of Babylon Stele in 3D photogrammetry
Description
Black stone stele in two fragments with the only known original side illustration of the Tower in Babylon and the only picture of the king Nebuchadnezzar II so far found in Mesopotamia. The tower or ziggurat was 90 x 90 m with a height also of 90 m. The stele was discovered in Babylon in the early 1990s, for 28 years it was housed in the Schøyen Collection Oslo, and since December 2023 it is back in Iraq and the Iraq Museum Baghdad. The photogrammetry was produced by Olof Pedersén in October 2023 as documentation before the stele was given to Iraq.
