Ennigaldi-Nanna's museum is thought to be the first museum by some historians, although this is speculative. It dates to circa 530 BCE.〔Anzovin, item # 1824, p. 69 ''The first museum known to historians (circa 530 BCE) was that of Ennigaldi-Nanna, the daughter of Nabu-na'id (Nabonidus), the last king to Babylonia.''〕〔Casey, p. "Public Museum" ''Around 530 B.C.E. in Ur, an educational museum containing a collection of labeled antiquities was founded by Ennigaldi-Nanna the, daughter of Nabonidus, the last king of Babylonia.''〕〔Harvey, p. 20 ''Princess Ennigaldi-Nanna, collected antiques from the southern regions of Mesopotamia, which she stored in a temple at Ur – the first known museum in the world. ''〕〔Leon, pp. 36–37 ''...the first known museum...''〕 The curator was Princess Ennigaldi, the daughter of Nabonidus, the last king of the Neo-Babylonian Empire.〔McIntosch, p. 4〕 It was located in the state of Ur, located in the modern-day Dhi Qar Governorate of Iraq, roughly southeast of the famous Ziggurat of Ur.〔Woolley, ''Ur of the Chaldees'' pp. 252–259〕 == History == When archaeologists excavated certain parts of the palace and temple complex at Ur they determined that the dozens of artifacts, neatly arranged side by side, whose ages varied by centuries, were actually museum pieces - since they came with what was finally determined to be "museum labels". These consisted of clay cylinder drums with labels in three different languages.〔 Nabonidus, her father, an antiquarian and antique restorer, taught Ennigaldi to appreciate ancient artifacts.〔 Her father is known as the first serious archeologist and influenced Ennigaldi to create her educational antiquity museum.〔 The palace grounds that included the museum were at the ancient building referred to as E-Gig-Par, which also had her living quarters.〔Woolley, ''Excavations at Ur...'', p. 235〕 The palace grounds also included the palace subsidiary buildings.〔Leon, pp. 36-37〕〔HarperCollins, p. 23〕〔Nash, p. 12〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ennigaldi-Nanna's museum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
