Description

Many legends have accumulated around the personality of the queen of Babylon, who restored and protected the city with a high brick wall that completely surrounded it. According to Diodorus Siculus, Semiramis reigned as queen in her own right, after the death of her husband King Ninus, conquering much of Asia, and adding Ethiopia to her empire.

Beaucoup de légendes se sont accumulées autour de la personnalité de la reine de Babylone, qui restaura et protégea la ville d'un haut mur de briques. Selon Diodore de Sicile, Sémiramis régna en tant que reine avec les pleins pouvoirs, après la mort de son mari le roi Ninus, et conquit une bonne partie de l'Asie, et ajouta même l'Ethiopie à son empire.

Made in Bryce5, almost entirely out of terrains. The music by Troels B. Folmann is part of the complete collection of tracks from the commemorative Tomb Raider Anniversary (2007). Downloading of those tracks is free.

A great work of art. Set as favorite and saved to my harddisk to study! Just as Phelinas, KarmaSong knows his history. So she conquered Ethiopia? Some claim Semiramis was the historical person Shammuramat (wife of a Babyloan king around 800 BC) but nobody knows for certain, she could just as well lived 800 years earlier. As Ethiopia was the source of Egypt's gold during the reign of Hatshepsout, Phelinas favorite, it is perfectly possible that the two queens knew each other..The mind boogles.

A truly magical and astounding POV! The landscape is phenomenal, mystical and magical... a true kingdom of perfect--where nothing can go wrong, seemingly. Love the softness and the details, it's as though in each corner and crevice there is a greater beauty to see and admire.... Truly lovely; and thank you for that bit of information... Delightful and majestic!

Le fait que je sois à la bourre pour commenter cette extraordinaire image ne doit pas m'empêcher de dire tout le bien que j'en pense ; c'est tout simplemnt grandiose et avec cette musique, on est parti pour le voyage...dans le temps.
