Ishtar Gate was constructed by the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar II circa 575 BCE. It was the eighth gate of the city of Babylon and was the main entrance into the city. The Ishtar Gate was part of Nebuchadnezzar's plan to beautify his empire's capital. During the first half of the 6th century BCE, he also restored the temple of Marduk and built the renowned wonder: the Hanging Gardens as part of this plan. The magnificence of the Ishtar Gate was so well known that it made the initial list of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. However, it was later replaced by the Lighthouse of Alexandria, but some authors wrote that the "Gates of Ishtar" and "Walls of Babylon" should still be considered one of the wonders.

Why dont early paintings tend to look very realistic

Natali [406]

If we are talking early early then it was because art wasn't a form of "art" it was a form of communication.

But a little later down the road, people did not understand the human body and could not paint one perfectly, and also painters loved to show perfection, as in, gold everywhere, or a kind a top a thousand bodies. Something like that. So yeah...
