📚 The Library of Ashurbanipal: The World’s First Great Archive of Knowledge
📚 The Library of Ashurbanipal: The World’s First Great Archive of Knowledge 📜Part I: Discovery Amid Ruins In the mid-1800s, long before archaeology had matured into the scientific discipline we know today, the deserts of northern Iraq were largely unexplored by Europeans. One such explorer was Austen Henry Layard, a British adventurer with a deep fascination for the biblical cities of Nineveh and Babylon. In 1849, while excavating near the village of Kuyunjik, Layard uncovered massive ruins buried under mounds of earth. These ruins belonged to Nineveh, the ancient capital of the Neo-Assyrian Empire — a city that had once been one of the most powerful urban centers in the ancient world.

🏺 Göbekli Tepe: The Temple That Rewrote Human History
🏺 Göbekli Tepe: The Temple That Rewrote Human History I. Discovery and Location Göbekli Tepe, which translates from Turkish as “Potbelly Hill,” sits quietly in the dry, rolling hills of southeastern Turkey, near the modern city of Şanlıurfa. Though it had long appeared on maps as a minor mound — a common sight in the region — its true significance wasn’t understood until the mid-1990s. In fact, for decades, local farmers and researchers assumed the mound was a simple Bronze Age burial site or a ruined Byzantine outpost. But in 1994, the German archaeologist Klaus Schmidt, who had worked at nearby Neolithic sites, re-examined the mound and recognized that the flint tools and carved stones scattered across the surface pointed to something far older and more significant.
