I *had* nothing to post this week. . . then my sweetie reminded me of this:

DSCN0092

It’s a bas-relief from the British museum, of the fall of Ninevah (Assyria). Photo taken in April 2007. The two men are being tortured, skinned alive actually.

I would say that being skinned alive is undesirable. I wonder what other photohunters will conjure up?

  1. reat take on the theme. To say that it is undesirable is the say that it may hurt a bit too! Happy weekend

    Great take on the theme. Definitely undesirable to be skinned alive, but I did enjoy seeing the photo of that work of art.

    Thanks for visiting mine and have a nice weekend.

  8. Oh dear, this is most undesirable! ..but interesting.

  9. That is just wrong. I would say that really qualifies of this theme.

  10. Woah! Hard core! If you hadn’t explained, I’d simply have marked it down as inscrutable antiquity and not worried about it.

    *Really* undesirable. And to think people once thought it so wonderful to do to others that it gets commemorated in an art work (of, presumably, the side that did the torturing)!

  12. that’s downright cruel, least of all undesirable.

    Definitely something I do not desire to have happen to me. But it is a cool photo.

    The “best” part is that, unless the historians are wrong, that didn’t start off as art, it started off as a newspaper. GAH!
