Sculpture of King Idrim

Sculpture of King Idrim

This statue depicts the 15th century BC Alalakh (Türkiye place name) King Idrimi. In 1939, the British explorer Sir Leonard Woolley found this statue in a temple. After the destruction of Alalakh in 1200 BC, the statue was buried in a pit. The statue is engraved with vivid descriptions of Idemi's life and achievements, including the events that led to his escape from Syria and the circumstances that led to his spectacular return. This inscription is considered one of the most important cuneiform inscriptions discovered so far. This sculpture is currently housed in the British Museum.
