Ain Dara temple
Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: A picture of the front side of the Ain Dara temple in 2010, when it was still in good condition. According to the Wikipedia the Turkish Air Force damaged it significantly during their Afferin offensive. Sources seem to indicate 60% was reduced to rubble. And an “emblematic lion was stolen in December 2019 by members of the al-Hamzat militia.” For more information (and the position of the temple in the history of religion), check the Wikipedia and other sources. One quote: “According to the excavator Ali Abu Assaf, it was in existence from 1300 BC until 740 BC and remained "basically the same" during the period of the Solomonic Temple's construction (1000–900 BC) as it had been before, so that it predates the Solomon Temple. “
One can enter the temple from the front side, with some steps to a next antechamber. The first step has two big footsteps and the next one. From that antechamber a threshold to the main hall has one big footstep. In the main hall, on a raised platform would be a shrine for an unknown god. |
