Rare 2,600-year-old Assyrian stele found at Nineveh
Archaeologists have uncovered a 2,600-year-old Assyrian stele of King Ashurbanipal at Nineveh's Shamash Gate in Iraq, nearly a decade after ISIS damaged the ancient city. Found during restoration work, the stone monument records architectural achievements and offers fresh detail on Assyrian urban development and the recovery of contested heritage.
