Anobanini bas relief belongs to Anobanini, king of the Lolobi tribes.... Anobanini bas relief is located 120 kilometers of Kermanshah in city of Sar-e Pole Zahab. This relief was carved during the third millennium BCE at the height of 16 meters from the ground. The relief is consisted of the figures of Anobanini, Nini Goddess and nine prisoners. The surface on which the relief was carved is divided into two parts. The figure of Anobanini with his left leg on the chest of a war prisoner can be seen on the left part of the relief. Many historians believe that Darius, the Achaemenid king, was inspired by Anobanini relief in creating Bisotun inscription in the heart of Bisotun Mountain.

Hey, no problemo, Osama hates all things historical and he'll come in and destroy it like he did with the other ancient statues. After all, equal opportunity works for leftie radicals, right?

Dead image link again. Nuts.
OBL is dead again. He has had every fatal known disease the past five years, but he might be down for good this time. But, his partners in crime will carry on and get around to destroying this piece of archaeological history eventually.
Amazing, the Taliban Mullahs haven't blown this to pieces yet.
Hey, give 'em time! They're busy trying to conquer the Earth, and there's not even any nudity in the art of this thing.
