Option #1: ISIS may have been vanquished on the battlefield (though that remains to be seen). Nonetheless, the following news article is sadly one of many to detail the malicious and atavistic campaign ISIS conducted while in power against ancient sites and museums collections in the Middle East: Mosul, Nimrud, Ninevah, Palmyra. One could make a parallel claim (and perhaps we should) for damage done to Baghdad and the Babylon site during the Iraq invasion and occupation — in particular the capital’s celebrated museum, tragically abandoned to looters during the Fall of Baghdad in 2003. Read the Kareem Shaheen article and then discuss the value of ancient art as humanity’s collective cultural heritage, and museums as storehosues of such culture.

2.9: Kareem Shaheen – Outcry over Isis destruction of ancient Assyrian site of Nimrud (READ)

Option #2: Mesopotamian Deep Impact! The Kofels site has long mystified geologists and historians alike. Referring to at least two details from the Nic Fleming article, describe what the event was, and which book helped bring it into the public consciousness. State who Mark Hempsell is and what the new explanation is. Then decide whether you find it plausible or implausible, after considering Blue Collar Scientist’s rebuttal. (Links to an external site.)

Hi, everyone. You can call me Jason. It’s a simple job but one that requires patience and time. I need a very careful and patient person to be competent for this job. Please complete a pre-lab analysis report according to the guidelines I uploaded. The first is the instruction of this lab, and the next are pre-lab requirements, the pre-lab sample and some notes. Based on these files, please browse and complete the pre-lab carefully. More importantly, if you have something you uncertain or do not understand, please consult with me “in time”. In this way, the quality of the final work can be better guaranteed. Glad to cooperate with you.
