What to see:
Most discussed work - Venus de Milo.
Not recommended for sensitive people because the picture is very realistic. It depicts the survivors (and victims) of the shipwreck of the Medusa, calling for help, when they see the outlines of another ship that can save them.
the Most criticized piece -" Large odalisque" Ingres.
the Painting was created for the sister of Napoleon, Queen Caroline Murat. Criticism is caused by distortion of the anatomical proportions that are present in this picture. The artist decided to extend the back of the woman adding extra vertebra, as he thought it would increase her sensuality.
the Babylonian code, carved in stone, dates back to 1754 BC, the Hammurabi"s code - the longest Babylonian text that have survived to the present day, and one of the oldest deciphered written work of considerable length in the world.
the Laws were based on the Law of Talion and include the phrase that made this history known:" око for an eye, a tooth for зуб".
Many of these laws are still used nowadays, such as fines for misconduct, the inheritance laws relating to taxation or the division of private property.
the Most fascinating product @ - a winged bulls with human heads. In Ancient Assyria, they were placed at the city gates and at the doors of temples to protect.
Statues of menacing and arrogant winged bulls with arrogant human eyes have five legs, thathas created the illusion of motion.
