Save Iraqi culture monument, Public monument in Mansour district, Baghdad, Iraq

The Save Iraqi Culture Monument features a cylindrical column of broken stone supported by multiple arms extending from its base.

Mohammed Ghani Hikmat created this monument in 2010 as part of a series of four sculptures commissioned to enhance Baghdad's urban landscape.

Cuneiform text engraved on the cylindrical stone declares 'writing began here', connecting the monument to Mesopotamia's role in developing written communication.

Located at coordinates 33.315° N and 44.3675° E, visitors can find the monument at a central roundabout next to Al Zawraa Park.

The fractured Sumerian cylinder seal design represents the ongoing efforts to maintain Iraqi cultural heritage through periods of societal change.
