A great thing to do is to go the the new Assyrian Exhibit from the Brittish Museum which is at the [|Museum of Fine Arts, Boston]. What makes this interesting is that Assyria is part of ancient Mesopotamia. This country is now called Iraq. A look at the exhibits reminds us of the very long history of assertive and combative leaders. Commemorations of battle scenes sculpted in stone show kings and soldiers in the moment of battle. It also shows clothing, hairstyles and equipment used in battle. Also in the exhibit are many documents written in cuneiform that showpurchases of property, documents commemorating the construction of specific buildings in Niniveh as well as spells to protect one from witches. My favorite sculptures are of winged dieties that protected their temples.
