Archaeologists restoring ISIS damage in Iraq discover Assyrian reliefs unseen for millennia ...Egypt

EGYPT INDEPENDENT - News

Archaeologists in northern Iraq have uncovered some extraordinary Assyrian rock carvings dating back around 2,700 years. The discovery was made in Nineveh, east of Mosul, by a joint US-Iraqi excavation team completing reconstruction work on the Mashki Gate, which ISIS militants destroyed in 2016. Iraq was home to some of the world’s oldest cities and earliest civilizations, including the Babylonians, the Sumerians and the Assyrians. In around 700 BC, the Assyrian King Sennacherib made Nineveh his capital and built the Mashki Gate — meaning the “Gate of God” — to guard its entrance. The carvings were discovered after ISIS militants destroyed the ancient Mashki Gate. Credit: Zaid a
