Van Dieman's Ink

Lost Vistas - Gardens of Nineveh Fountain Pen Ink

Lost Vistas - Gardens of Nineveh Fountain Pen Ink

Exclusively available at Pulp Addiction

The Gardens of Nineveh ink pays homage to a monumental revelation in our understanding of ancient wonders. Once thought to be the fabled Hanging Gardens of Babylon, recent scholarly research and archaeological findings suggest these marvels of the ancient world were actually located in Nineveh, under the rule of King Sennacherib. This discovery is supported by evidence of an extensive system of aqueducts, which Sennacherib himself boasted about in inscriptions. These aqueducts, part of an elaborate 80-kilometer (50 mi) network of canals, dams, and aqueducts, were ingeniously designed to transport water to Nineveh. Water-raising screws are believed to have elevated this precious resource to the gardens' lofty terraces, sustaining a lush, vibrant oasis in the heart of the Assyrian empire.

Exclusively designed for Pulp Addiction, this ink embodies the lush vibrancy and advanced engineering of the Gardens of Nineveh. Its dark bluish-green hue, with high saturation, mirrors the organic richness and vitality of the gardens that once flourished, thanks to the innovative irrigation techniques of the Assyrians. The rich red sheen captures the brilliance of the flowers and fruits that adorned the terraces, a testament to the ancient world's ability to conquer the challenges of their environment to create beauty and life in abundance.

Utilizing the Gardens of Nineveh ink allows one to not only marvel at the ingenuity of ancient civilizations but also to draw inspiration from their perseverance and creativity. It serves as a reminder of humanity's timeless pursuit of harmony with nature, pushing the boundaries of what is possible to bring the beauty of the natural world into our lives.
