It’s real nice to see you again, old friend.
Assyrian Winged Bull, known as Lamassu. Discovered in Ancient Mesopotamia in the Biblical city of Nineveh, located in the modern city of Mosul, Iraq. (Where Jonah allegedly traveled to after escaping the belly of the Whale)
Measured at 16.5ft tall (5m) - and a staggering 40TONS! Carved from one piece of stone.
These pictures truly do not do this piece justice for the imposing eminence your eyes witness when standing in front of it. All these photos were taken with ultra-wide camera angle, and distort the true width of this magnificent relic.
📍 Look closely at all that dirt/rubble.
30 YEARS of “digging”, and THIS is all to show for it? You’re telling me they couldn’t have removed even just a little bit more?
At 12,000 yrs, this is the world’s oldest and most mysterious ancient site. Yet, there is absolutely no sense of urgency to uncover what lays buried, waiting to be discovered.
Meanwhile, Archaeologists are busy sitting on the couch…complaining over the internet about what I’ve exposed…yet none of them are actively digging up this site today, as they should be…
Can someone remind me of what Archaeologists actually do for a living?
The timing of my trip to Gobekli Tepe could not have been better
I was there to witness the last stage of the removal of 1,000 trees 🌳
What are the odds?
BREAKING: Authorities in Turkey have begun the process of removing and relocating 1,000 Trees 🌳 at Gobekli Tepe!
The Tree roots were destroying Ancient ruins below, AND, were preventing further excavation!
My videos on this generated tremendous controversy, which was clearly heard by the right people. This is a BIG Win!!! 🙌🏻
