This model will require more than one sitting to build it. We advise to pause between different stages as you work, especially when you come to gluing. The white glue softens the paper and it may lead to misshapen parts if you do not allow them to dry well before proceeding further with assembling. Click here to watch our paper model building tips.

A FEW LINES ABOUT THIS LANDMARK
The Ishtar Gate was the eighth gate to the inner city of Babylon. Dedicated to the Babylonian goddess Ishtar, it was constructed in 575 BC by order of King Nebuchadnezzar II. The model is partly based on the reconstruction on display in the Pergamon Museum in Berlin.
