EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Assyrian Discoveries" takes us back in time to the 19th century, when English archaeologist Mr. Rassam embarked on his excavations in the Mound at Balawat, Iraq. The engraving showcases a detailed plan of these groundbreaking discoveries, which were featured in The Illustrated London News on November 16,1878. The image transports us to Mesopotamia, where we witness an array of ancient structures and artifacts that have been unearthed by Mr. Rassam's team. From ditches and trenches to aqueducts and tunnels, every element tells a story of the rich history of this region. As our eyes wander across the print, we notice meticulously drawn maps depicting the layout of Balawat's archaeological site. We can almost imagine ourselves walking through its ancient streets and sitting on marble seats surrounding an altar. The circular platform at the center catches our attention; it seems like a focal point for religious or ceremonial activities during Assyrian times. This discovery sheds light on their culture and rituals that took place centuries ago. This print is not just a visual representation but also an invitation to explore the wonders of archaeology. It reminds us how each excavation unearths fragments from our past that help piece together humanity's collective history.
