Blau Monuments : ウィキペディア英語版 | Blau Monuments The Blau Monuments are a pair of inscribed stone objects from Mesopotamia now in the British Museum.〔British Museum Highlights ()〕 They are commonly thought to be a form of ancient kudurru.〔Gelb, “Earliest Land Tenure Systems”〕 ==History== The Monuments were purchased by A. Blau in 1886 near the city of Uruk (modern-day Iraq). They were carved of bright blue stone commonly regarded as a dark shale or kind of schist.〔Gelb〕 Thought to be forgeries for some time,〔Mallowan, “Early Mesopotamia and Iran”〕 excavations at Uruk redeemed them through revealing stylistic parallels in a basalt stele and the famous Warka Vase. Some assyriologists accepted the Monuments’ authenticity as early as 1901, although this was not a universal belief.〔Barton, “Some Notes on the Blau Monuments.” Journal of the American Oriental Society〕 Even though widely accepted today, some authors nonetheless maintain scrutiny on the Monuments’ status within Mesopotamian history.
