"The head of a Lamassu statue, an #Assyrian deity often depicted as a winged-bull with a human head, lies in the archaeological site of #Nimrud, south of #Mosul, on January 3, 2025."
How disheartening to see the dismal state of #Iraq's antiquities.
The top of a squared obelisk in dark stone with veins of white seen from one corner with four steps inscribed with cuneiform and with two relief panels below showing men and animals (including camels).
Starting a new video, The Black Obelisk of Shalmaneser III, 825 B.C.E., limestone, 197.48 x 60.96 cm with Akkadian written in cuneiform (The British Museum). An amazing object, will be fun to make this one.

In #Irak zijn #archeologen druk bezig om door IS vernielde archeologische resten van de #Assyrische hoofdstad #Nimrud bij elkaar te brengen en te herstellen. Er is nog ongeveer een jaar aan veldwerk nodig voordat de #restauratie op volle kracht kan beginnen.
