あらすじ・解説
The mysterious Ain Dara temple is the best-preserved example of Syro-Hittite religious architecture from the late second and early first millennia BC. It is elaborately decorated with basalt sculpture and reliefs. It also contains enigmatic larger-than-life human footprints carved into the temple’s stone thresholds, a feature unique to the building. The Temple is believed to be a close parallel to the contemporary Temple of Solomon, which is at the moment only known from descriptions in the Hebrew Bible.
