Head of Nineveh Antiquities and Heritage Inspectorate, Rawid Muwaffaq, discussed with the German Heidelberg University team and head of the excavation mission, Professor Stefan Maul, future plans in technologies and maintenance of archaeological pieces in western Nineveh.
“During the meeting, the excavation work was discussed in three sites: Tell Nabi Yunus (King Esarhaddon’s palace), Nergal Gate, one of the gates of the Nineveh wall, and Tell Quinjiq, and the important discoveries that resulted from them, in addition to the display of the antiquities that were destroyed and swept away by ISIS terrorists,” Rawid said in a statement to the Iraqi National News Agency (NINA).
“The attendees reviewed a set of future plans for excavations, maintenance of archaeological pieces, and the establishment of open museums within the archaeological sites that represent the Assyrian civilization.”
