The colouration of this panel from Ashurbanipal’s palace is magical. See how the desert is brought to life as irrigation waters flow through ancient Ninevah. A delightful way of presenting this scene. Turn sound off.

“Ashurbanipal’s achievements as a ruler are recorded on clay prisms that were buried under important buildings. This ten-sided prism is the most complete record of Ashurbanipal’s reign. It describes his nine campaigns against Assyria’s enemies.” Nineveh 643 BC

King
