🔴 🇮🇶 **Ancient Artifacts Unearthed in Iraq Shed Light on Hidden History of Mesopotamia**

Eddy Duryea ’13

_“Kurd Qaburstan is believed to be ancient Qabra, an important regional center mentioned in the records of other city-states,” Earley-Spadoni says. “The presence of writing, monumental architecture, and other administrative artifacts in the lower town palace further supports this identification since the site must have been an important city of its time.”_

Remarkably preserved shrines recovered at Assyrian temple of Ninurta in Nimrud, Iraq Excavations at Nimrud, which was once the capital of the Neo-Assyrian Empire, have revealed some intriguing new finds. In 2024, during the third excavation season, researchers uncovered two imposing shrines within the Temple of Ninurta that had survived extraordinarily intact. Inside the larger shrine was a massive stone dais that bore cuneiform inscriptions of texts attributed to King Ashurnasirpal II. The smaller shrine contained a damaged dais surrounded by fragments of statues and religious artifacts, illustrating how the temple was destroyed in the fall of the Assyrian Empire — around 614–612 BCE.
