Iconogrpahy

I added a key to all the symbols of the upper register inside the temple. and before anyone freaks out, yes I cited it too. I will enhance this as time goes on. but I think at least having a key to the symbol and what it is supposed to represent is very useful

Broken table

Latest comment: 5 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I removed a broken table which was supposedly a breakdown of the "Iconography of the Upper Register." The table makes no sense. Why have a category for "Sumerian" and then list "Sumerian" in each cell, etc.? Why is an image of a goat labeled "building or city"? Does anyone have access to the original source: Cooper, J.S. (2008). Taylor, P. (ed.). "Incongruent corpora: Writing and art in ancient Iraq". Warburg Institute Colloquia. 13? I've removed the table for the time being, but it would be wonderful if someone has access to the text so we can restore a corrected version of the content.

I have restored the table.

1. the empty cells have been corrected to "--" indicating it waiting to be filled with information

2. the numbers on the image have been placed OVER the object instead of PROXIMATE to the object, which obscures the object itself, but apparently that is more important to some people.

3. again, second time I have said this, this work is CITED as per wikipedia policy Gurdjieff (talk) 21:29, 4 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
