Nimrud, Archaeological site in Nineveh Governorate, Iraq
The ruins of Nimrud extend across a vast area containing temples, administrative buildings, and defensive walls along the Tigris River banks.
The ancient Assyrian capital, established in the 13th century BC, reached its peak under King Ashurnasirpal II who constructed monumental palaces.
Stone reliefs within the palace walls display intricate carvings of royal ceremonies, military campaigns, and hunting scenes from Assyrian life.
The archaeological site includes multiple excavation areas with stone foundations, ceremonial gates, and architectural remains from different time periods.
The site contained thousands of carved ivory pieces, forming the largest collection of ancient ivory artifacts discovered in one location.
