West Asiatic Architecture




West Asiatic Architecture topic get me interesting because some of the words which I have heared and read from the Bibles was supposed dealt in this part of history architecture, like a familiar words, Garden of Eden, Tower of Babel and the famous character Nebuchadnezzar whom the leader for the distructed of Jerusalem. Many stories precisely appeared what was probably happened the time of civilization which wrote in tablet of stones by some of Apostles
By the way make me amazing the time from Prehistoric to West Asiatic architecture that how people being civilized and adapt knowledge and their skill continues to built like palace, temples and tomb for their sovereign or kings, in prehistoric period people in that era made site for astrological purposes which is very neared idea in like babylon period, they built pyramidal towers or also known as Ziggurats have purpose to observe the heavenly bodies, but there are differences on both period because they are not only focused in gods or goddesses to build structures, instead they used it for commercial and social purposes and even to stored their wealth which shown their hierarchy in their community in that era.
Geographically, it gave whole impact and supposed became the sources of minerals in Mesopotamia, Euprates and Tigris river diposited important minerals which is suitable and help for those people like in making buildings in Babylon until it used by Assyrian and adapt in Persian period. The time changes and the period after Babylon honed in to their craft until they get the beauty and perfect color of those materials like bricks which started from mud and clay. Meanwhile, Babylonia known as a traders, they have a lot of workers which they used to build their palaces and irrigation unlike Assyrian they more on socially, sports and fighter, they have great military forces. Persian had same with past era of Assyrian because they used powers as superiority in their community. Whereas, West Asiatic Architecture perceived the era of power, struggles for further extension and to accumulate odds. Palaces and temples being a landmark which remarkable in their hierarchy.
