English: The statue, which is located on a small area of ​​the land of the ancient city of Babylon, represents a large piece of stone, which is the form of a lion perching on a human body, about two meters long and placed on a (ziggurat) platform with a height of one meter. Over time, it was called (The Lion of Babylon). This stone piece made of (solid black basalt) was found in March of the year (1776) AD, by a German archaeological excavation team in the northern palace of the city of (Babylon) built by the fourth Babylonian king of (the second dynasty of Aisen) and is likely to be the king (Nebuchadnezzar) The second), who lived in (604) BC and was the son of (Nebuchadnezzar the First). This sculptural piece was considered one of the most important cultural evidence of the Babylonian civilization in particular, of Mesopotamian art in general, and of all human thought. Opinions differed about the historical reference and the legacy of the (Lion of Babylon) statue. There are those who say that it did not return to the Babylonians because the style of its artistic implementation and the method of its design are far from the Babylonian method in the art of sculpture, and it approaches the style of (Hittite art) that represents the (Hittite) civilization neighboring the civilization (Babylon) that fought for a period of time and those wars ended in victory ( Babylonians).
