Karban, Jiří ; Čech, Pavel (advisor) ; Antalík, Dalibor (referee)
The presented paper deals with relationship of war, mythology and ritual in the Neo-Assyrian period of Mesopotamian culture. We will focus especially on the themes of ritual torture and slaughter of enemies in the texts and visual art of Neo-Assyrian kings and in the mythology of warrior gods Ninurta and Marduk. According to the anthropological theories of Mary Douglas we will explain war as an important way how people of ancient Mesopotamia treated their enemies and recreated their world.
