I am Ashurbanipal king of the world, king of Assyria


Now for something different!

I went to the British Museum to see their special event on Assyria.

I don't know much detail about the pre biblical period so it was a great starter into this incredible period.







A cuniform "book", carved into stone.  The size of the font is really small



To give colour to these objects, the museum used a projector.
