One more reason to puzzle over the middle east
Winged Genie. Iraq, Nimrud. Reign of Ashur-nasir-pal II (circa 883–859 b.c.). One of twelve massive carved alabaster panels, on view together for the first time, dominate the walls of the Brooklyn Museum’s Hagop Kevorkian Gallery of Ancient Middle Eastern Art. Originally brightly painted, they once adorned the vast palace of King Ashur-nasir-pal II, one of the greatest rulers of ancient Assyria. Completed in 879 b.c. at the site of Kalhu (modern Nimrud), slightly north of what is now Baghdad, Iraq, the palace was the heart of a vast empire.
Did you know that it is logically inconsistent to say that Arabs are anti-semitic? Did you further know that that when half-brothers refuse to allow their familial ties to be the prominent connection between them (rather than their mutual jealousy and disrespect) that the whole family suffers? Get over it already Sons of Abraham, sons of Sem. The rest of the world is tired of walking around on eggshells....
