EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic Sphinx of Tell Halaf, a mesmerizing basalt sculpture that once guarded the ancient temple complex of the same name in modern-day Syria. Dating back to approximately 6100 to 5400 BC, this Sphinx is considered one of the oldest known examples of this mythological creature in the Eastern Mediterranean region. Originally situated at the entrance of the Temple of Tell Halaf, this Sphinx was part of the rich Neolithic and Prehistoric civilization that flourished in the area now known as Mesopotamia and Asia Minor. The Sphinx's elongated face, with its piercing eyes and enigmatic smile, is believed to represent a deity or a powerful ruler from this ancient era. Now, this magnificent basalt bust is proudly displayed at the entrance to the National Museum of Aleppo, Syria, serving as a testament to the region's rich history and cultural heritage. The Sphinx of Tell Halaf is a reminder of the 7th century BC Syrian civilization that once thrived in this part of the world, contributing significantly to the development of art, mythology, and civilization in the Eastern Mediterranean. As a symbol of power, wisdom, and guardianship, the Sphinx of Tell Halaf continues to captivate and inspire visitors to the National Museum of Aleppo, offering a glimpse into the ancient world and the mysteries it holds.
