Outside Assyriological scholarship as well, studies of the apocalyptic give significant credit to the ancient Near East, especially Babylonia and Iran, as potential sources for the manifestations of this phenomenon in the Hellenistic period. The emphasis on kingship and empire in apocalyptic modes of thinking warrants special attention paid to the regal art of ancient Mesopotamia and adjacent areas in its potential to express the relevant notions. In this book, Mehmet-Ali Atac demonstrates the importance of visual evidence as a source for apocalyptic thought. Focusing on the so-called investiture painting from Mari, he relates it to parallel evidence from the visual traditions of the Assyrian Empire, ancient Egypt, and Hittite Anatolia. 650 0 $a Time and art. 650 0 $a Holy, The, in art. 650 0 $a Apocalyptic art. 650 0 $a Art, Ancient $z Middle East $x Themes, motives. 650 7 $a Apocalyptic art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00811391 650 7 $a Art, Ancient $x Themes, motives. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815932 650 7 $a Holy, The, in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00959054 650 7 $a Time and art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01739528 651 7 $a Middle East. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01241586 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214023952.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BFD6E742840811E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
