Iratkozzon fel hírlevelünkre 2700 éves szobrot tártak fel Irakban - képek
Iraqi security forces stand guard at the site of a newly-unearthed Assyrian Lamassu (human-headed winged bull) alabaster sculpture discovered with its entire wings intact by the French archaeological mission at the archaeological site of Khorsabad (also known as Dur-Sharrukin), the former Assyrian capital in the time of Sargon II (721–705 BC) in Iraq's northern Nineveh province on October 24, 2023. Only the head of the 2,700-year-old sculpture was missing, and that was already in the collection of the Iraq Museum in Baghdad after being confiscated by customs officers from smugglers in the 1990s, the dig's French leader Pascal Butterlin said.
