The largest recorded nine Australian wings (alias Lamasu) have been exposed in the city of Nanawiya, the city of Nineveh, in the city of Nabi Yunus, Mosul. Located in the throne room built by King Essardon (681-669 BC), Lamasu is six meters (20 feet) high, which is on the examples of fame in the British Museum and Louver, which reaches between 3.5 and 4.2 meters (11.5-13.8 feet) in the British Museum and Louver.
According to [Iraq’s Minister of Culture, Ahmed Fakkak al-Badrani]The architecture of the palace includes multiple adjoining halls that lead to the throne room, each is protected by a Lamasu couple on their entrances. Archaeologists believe that the newly disclosed statue was one of the similar pairing pairing at the main gate of the throne hall.
This is not the first Lamasu to be exposed on the site. In the 1990s, a small sample was found on the left side of the palace, which is only below four meters. In 2021, Iraqi authorities announced the discovery of another major wings, though smaller than this new search. However, the most recent excavation has brought the biggest record ever, making the site a central point for the study of the Assyrian monument sculpture.
Sanacherib’s son and Ashwarbanpal’s father, Esardon became the most powerful ruler of the newlyast Empire. He was appointed by his father, though he was the youngest son, and after the murder of his brother’s father, he had to fight his older brother to claim his older brother. He was a capable general, conquered Egypt and Syria, and in the short decade of his rule, the size of the nine Asian Empire increased its greatest extent.
Written in Nibi Yunus during the period of Sanchirib (705-681 BC), and Esardon shows that the former was built as a military palace that faces the river Dajla. It was used as a royal residence, Armorit, Establishment, Barracks, Parade Ground, where horses, mules, charths and goods were collected for war. Archaeological remains of the courtyards, workshops, administrative offices and barracks were found, and on the other side of the building, the Sweet and State apartments of a throne room were decorated in a “heatite manner”, as a Snachriab log explained. Esardon increased the palace and its courtyards significantly, increased the residential area so that it could be compared to other residential palaces.
Peter Nicholas, an archaeologist at Headburg University, told the Iraqi News Agency (INA) that the excavation teams were also written by the writings by the writings of the Kenforum bullets, including Kosus Sanchayeb, Esaradden, and Ashwarpal. Additional samples appear to represent Egypt and Lionist warnings, which features a large picture of Assyria’s remote campaigns.
Nabi Yunus was interpreted as a thousand years as the tomb of the Prophet Jonah Yunus. In the early Christian times, there was a church at this place, and the records were already mentioned in the 10th century. There was also a small village and its affiliated cemetery, so even after the excavation of Nineva in the 19th century, Nayeb Yunus was not available for archaeologists. Only a few limited excavation between the homes was allowed, and a significant excavation of the Ottoman Governor Helmi Pasha, which exposed the entrance to the throne room.
In July 2014, the mosque was blown up by the Islamic State. To claim that the mosque has become a place for “apostasy, no prayer”, they demolished the tomb, cleaned the rubble and ranked the site flat, ensuring that it could never be formed. The aforementioned destruction may have damaged the nine Asheri layers below, and the greed of the Islamic State has been more damaged by the cultural patriotism of the cultural patriotism of their wars and funds. They tunked tunnel under the mosque in search of antiques to loot under the mosque, even as they pretended to end everything contrary to their beliefs.
A new project was launched at the Association and ancient Eastern Archeology 2018 at Headburg University in collaboration with the Iraqi State Board of Antiquities and Heritage. They started searching that these tunnels were returning. In 2019, the project extended to excavation and protection of Nineva’s remaining remnants, including Nibi Younus Millies.
