📚 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.

Andalusia: The Forgotten Beacon of Civilization
The Forgotten Glory of Andalusia: A Legacy of Civilization, Now Overshadowed It is a historical fact that when the streets of Europe were overflowing with filth and plagued by disease—when people in many European cities were compelled to wear high wooden clogs just to avoid stepping in their own waste—Andalusia stood as a beacon of cleanliness, culture, and unparalleled development. In that golden era of Islamic Spain, not only did every Muslim household boast a private bath, but a well-structured sewage and drainage system also existed—an advanced infrastructure that was centuries ahead of its time and of anything found in Europe.
