    She should have mentioned also how such a big and beautiful structure ended up in Germany. And why it was stolen from its ancient location.

    Get your facts straight. It wasn't stolen. It was awarded to the German Empire by the Ottoman Empire that ruled over what is today Iraq.

    Thank God it did.. people always crying about something. Nothing should be returned to "where it originally was" especially if that place is the middle east. It gets sold and disappears for decades or worse blown up with dynamite and bulldozed saddest thing ever. Take these things somewhere they can be protected from man and weathering

    I concur, it was lush and beautiful place. teeming with life. THAT'S WHY the city is there. BUT, due to deforestation, - the people love cutting down trees for everything and burn wood like no tomorrow,- the desert kept growing until there is no turning back. SIMILAR thing happened to Egypt. Ancient Egypt was green and lush, teeming with all kinds of fish and birds. Trade up the Nile was the pride of Egypt as was the green reed that made Egypt famous.

    Yes, isn't it? Many of the bricks were made in the 20th century as part of the restoration, but the animals are all original pieces, and the blue directly around them is original. If you look closely, you can see that the original blue is a bit more faded than the new blue. 🤓
