"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.
