This limestone stele depicts the Assyrian king Adad-Nirari III, (r. 810-783 BCE), praying before gods and goddesses symbols. The cuneiform inscriptions mention the king's titles and military campaigns. From Tell al-Rimah, in modern-day Nineveh Governorate, Iraq. On display at the Iraq Museum in Baghdad, Republic of Iraq.
Associate Professor of Neurology and lover of the Cradle of Civilization, Mesopotamia. I'm very interested in Mesopotamian history and always try to take photos of archaeological sites and artifacts in museums, both in Iraq and around the world.
