Desescultura Etemenanki -series- Sculpture

This project is based on a short story that I wrote in 2013 entitled Aproximacion a Etemenanki: Short essay that deepens the dream of a virtual librarian: The meeting between Alexander of Macedonia and a Ziqqurratu of Babylon. Aproximacion a Etemenanki "In the middle of it you can see a solid tower built that is one stadium high and another stadium thick. On top of this a second one is built, then another third, and so on until reaching the number of eight towers". Herodotus (484 BC - 425 BC) First book, chapter 181, page 178 of the Nine Books of History In the course of time the repeatedly demolished tower virtually receives the librarian in waterlogged ruins covered with foliage. Xerxes the Great may have been the last to see it in its splendor (1). Before his eyes the demolished tower takes on the shape of a shovel whose axis symbolized the staircase to the temple of heaven where the librarian glimpses a lightning bolt devastating it, according to records of the wise Tudela (2). Perhaps due to divine retaliation as the rabbi deduces, or due to metals at their peak as the librarian concludes. Established in laconic translations, in quotes from the father of history and in the Esagil tablet (3), the librarian falsely lucubrates the conqueror (4) - in the ziggurat: At first he imagines him breaking into the sacred chamber of the eighth floor: The temple to Marduk, on a cot, next to a golden table glimpsing the firmament and an infinite desert. Imagine also the presence of the daughter of the country there, in the shakhuru (5) welcoming you. -The bookkeeper conjectures – from the ethereal temple that the god will not come out while the Great One is there.....(...).
