Fantastic use of modern light technology brings this ancient wall panel vividly back to life with projected colour! 🎨🤩 The relief comes from the North Palace at Nineveh (present day Iraq). The palace walls were decorated with brightly painted wall panels some 2,600 years ago. This relief shows three of the Sebetti gods (protective figures), each carrying a hatchet and dagger, and wearing a three-horned hat. My video is from the 2018 exhibition ‘I am Ashurbanipal, king of the world, king of Assyria at the British Museum #ReliefWednesday #Archaeology

Let’s go inside Bryn Celli Ddu Neolithic passage tomb! Built c. 5,000 years ago to align with the rising sun on the Summer Solstice! Look for the stone pillar inside the burial chamber, like a tomb guardian keeping watch from the shadows! Anglesey, Wales 🎥 by me #Archaeology
