Nimrud: Palace of Adad Nirari III, 2023

Описание к видео Nimrud: Palace of Adad Nirari III, 2023

I filmed a lot of raw footage during our relatively short field season in the Spring of 2023 and it has taken me a long time to edit it. I then had to decide the order to release videos in. I think it best to give background and overview of excavations before going into individual artifacts. So, I'll start with a video taken rather late in the season when we had largely understood the areas we were digging and revealed many walls and floors, etc.

I worked mostly in the Temple of Ishtar, but our team was working another area as well, the 'Upper Chambers,' more correctly known as the Palace of Adad Nirari III. I asked the dig director, Dr. Michael Danti, to give us a tour of that building since he understands it better than any of us. It has long been a confusing area, though, dug by Layard and Loftus in the 1840s/50s and the old maps were incorrect or misleading.

The first Penn season began to get to grips with the confusion in the first season, Fall of 2022, and more of the building has been revealed in the second season, Spring 2023, under the immediate supervision of Dr. John MacGinnis. There's still a lot to learn, but this video shows what we know at the moment.
