Endangered Animals
Photograph by Steve McCurry
Considered symbols of power and courage, lions guarded the entrances to public buildings at Tell Harmel, the ancient town of Shaduppum. Within the city limits of Baghdad, Tell Harmel has been restored as an outdoor museum with replicas of its lion statues. One of the original two stone lions, which were on display in the Iraq Museum, were damaged by looters. Although not significant in size, Tell Harmel boasts some of the earliest evidence of the use of certain mathematical principles.
