Nearly six million Assyrian Christians dot the world. Mesopotamia is the homeland of the Assyrians. The famous royal cities of the Assyrians, Ashur, Nimrud (Kalhu), Arbela, Dur-Sharrukin and Nineveh were built in it. The Assyrians ruled for approximately 1,300 years - from about 2000 B.C. to 612/10 BC - in northern Mesopotamia an ancient landscape between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. A clear reference to the existence of the Assyrians, on the other hand, can already be found in the Old Testament (1st Book of Moses 2:14). There it says: * “… the name of the third river is the Tigris, which flows east of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates..."

LOVE THIS!!!!!!

I remember taking an anthropology class where the professor said that cultures often used the teeth and the bone of the animals being depicted to carve or paint them. Is it possible the fine details were done with such materials? I don't know the relative hardness of the stone, which is why I'm asking.

It's quite possible as they were hunted to extinction

العراق مهد الحضارات القديمة وأقدم حضارة في العالم وتعتبر حضارة السومريين في مدينة أور من أقدم الحضارات والمدن

It's worth pointing out that these lions were hunted to extinction by man. I'm no lion expert but I was told by an expert that you can tell by the lion's mane that runs along their abdomen that they are an extinct species that was hunted in this region in ancient times.

@@redtobertshateshandles - If nothing really matters why bother me? In all seriousness, Nothing does really matter. That doesn't mean I'm going to sit silently in a corner for the rest of my life. It means I am going to take what I can from existence while I exist. Including knowledge. Then it is into dust I go. That is just a fact. "Nothing really matters", like "all things will pass" means don't sweat it as in the end it really doesn't matter. People live, people die, empire rise, empires fall, Or as Shakespeare put it. "The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a trace behind. We are such stuff As dreams are made on, and our little life Is rounded with a sleep."

Saved from Isis explosions. Friendly, cuddly explosions.

For Gosh sakes keep the camera work STILL so one can actually look at the pieces... A definite over zealous camera work

If you want to look at this you can take a virtual tour with Google or the British Museum website and you can find high resolutions images easily online and look at them one by one.

Use the pause function without the camera movement you would be solely focused on a lion's anus
