Just goes to show that we don’t know what we don’t know. Every day it seems, new findings surprise the established authorities of what was and how it got to be.

So Jonah went to Ninevah...

"At the end of the 19th century, British researchers had already examined the northern palace of ancient Nineveh for the first time and discovered large reliefs, which are now on display in the British Museum in London."

So... The Brits took the good stuff to preserve it in the British Museum, while leaving this broken up crap behind for these dudes to get excited about. Lets be happy for these dudes and thankful that the Brits saved the good stuff. If they hadn't, it would be broken and destroyed like these reliefs.

Don’t let any Muslims near them.

They need those purses.

When all your gods turn to dust.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

the plan is to return the relief to its original location in the medium term and make it accessible to the public.

Where ISIS will destroy it. The British saved so much of ancient Near Eastern artifacts, no one will ever forgive them.
