This ancient relief sculpture, dating back over 2,600 years and found in Nineveh (present-day Iraq), depicts Ashurbanipal, the Assyrian king, bravely defeating a lion with a writing stylus strapped to his belt. Ashurbanipal skillfully fused physical strength with dedication to knowledge, as demonstrated by the vast library he had amassed. His daring in both battle and scholarship illustrated the quintessential traits revered in a king during the ancient Assyrian era. #archaeohistories

Mongolian Throat Singing - No one can say for sure when art form of throat singing began. Throat singing then appears in Chinese texts dating in 92 AD. From these accounts, we learn that northern barbarians who worshipped wolves sang with scary roaring sound when they attacked, which scared their enemies. Following a battle, these same men would sit around fire and whistle from their throats. 🎥 : Batzorig Vaanchig - Mongolian Throat Singing (🎥© Martin Rybka - YouTube) #archaeohistories

One of the most impressive hydraulic works of pre-Columbian America is located 20km from Cajamarca, in archaeological site of Cumbemayo, Peru. This thousand-year-old construction, in shape of a zigzag, extends for 9km and is carved into rock. Some sections of aqueduct measure between 35-50cm wide, with a depth that varies from 30-65cm and an approximate length of 850m. In addition, right angles were used, probably to reduce speed of water and prevent erosion of land. #archaeohistories
