The Last Woman Standing: Misogyny in Museums & Reclaiming the Goddess

The Goddess Project by Carla Ionescu

Episode notes

History is written by the victors… but what happens when it erases the divine feminine? In this episode of The Goddess Project, we expose how misogyny in museum curation has shaped the interpretation of the Assyrian nude statue (BM 124963), housed at the ⁨@britishmuseum⁩

Originally commissioned by King Ashur-bel-kala (1073–1056 BCE), this unique artifact has been labeled as an object of mockery, but is that really the full story? Could this statue represent Ishtar the powerful Mesopotamian goddess of love, war, and divine femininity rather than a figure of humiliation? Join us as we challenge the patriarchal lens that has distorted history and reclaim the true legacy of ancient goddesses.
