Watch a royal lion hunt carved on a 2,600 year-old Assyrian wall panel brought to life by modern light technology! 🤩
The carved relief shows King Ashurbanipal driving a spear through a lion as it attacks the wheel of his chariot. Panel from the North Palace at the ancient city of Nineveh (present-day Iraq). Originally palace wall reliefs like this were brightly painted https://t.co/jDpLXdIRzB
