Explore the Palace of King Ashurnasirpal II

This virtual CGI exploration, created and produced by Learning Sites, Inc., takes the viewer back almost 3,000 years ago to the height of the ancient Assyrian Empire and into the place of King Ashurnasirpal II at Nimrud. Based on archeological data and interpretation, the video walks the viewer through the original locations of each of the six relief panels in the collection of the Hood Museum.
This project was made possible by an endowment from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

[@voyeurchamp]

The animation needs a commentary.

[@messaywoobeshet6006]

every thing is good but people with wings means angels from the old testament not diets or small gods and the hair and bierd are not the character of a caucasian male more like ethiopian even the faces are of ethiopian figure not even african they have differentiated on thier statue caucasian ethiopian and african clearly so correct that

This is the evil king Nimrod in the land of Shinar(BABYLON) of genesis 11 in the bible. research suggests that after the confusion of languages in scripture 70 tribes went 70 different directions speaking 70 different languages. Calling one man many different names. Some of those names are OSIRIS, APOLLO, NINURTA, ORION, GILGAMESH & Nimrod (nimrud)

[@jsd795]

Close, your only about 1500 years off. This man was King of Assyria after the reign Solomon. The Nimrod of Genesis was pre Abraham which means pre 2100 BC at the earliest.

[@marcusgomez3307]

@@jsd795 the person in the statues is nimrod who's also Gilgamesh who's also Osiris. One man called many different names

[@jsd795]

@@marcusgomez3307 first off who Nimrod was is pure conjecture as it is unknown, it is just as likely that he was Sargon or someone else all together. Second nothing in the relief suggests that the man is Nimrod and the others with wings are deities of some sort.

IN 2015 ISIS was only completing the creators work. It was foretold this place will be in complete ruins NEVER to rise again as it once was. NEVER!

[@henrique5231]

It is in ruins already! The Lord doesnt need to literally destroy stones to defeat the impious spirit of Babylon! And if you live in the same world as the rest of us you can see that this Babilonic spirit still lurks about in every country, but it will not be defeated by the insane violence of ISIS but by the humility of the Sacret Heart of Jesus!
