- **Event Description**: Lecture: From Ancient Capital to Terrorist Target—Recovering and Stabilizing the Past in Iraq with the Nimrud Rescue Project with Brian Michael Lione

The ancient city of Nimrud, also known as Kalhu or Biblical Calah, was once the lavish capital city of a Neo-Assyrian empire that stretched from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean Sea.

Located just 30 kilometers south of Mosul, Nimrud suffered greatly from intentional destruction by ISIS. After the site’s liberation in late 2016, the government of Iraq requested the Smithsonian’s assistance in documenting and recovering the site. Missions to Iraq in 2017 and 2018 established a 30-member Iraqi ‘Nimrud Rescue Team,’ and developed their skills to document, recover, and protect the scattered fragments of stone sculpture and architecture that survived.

In this talk, Brian Michael Lione, of the Smithsonian’s Museum Conservation Institute, will explore the history and importance of the city of Nimrud, discuss the establishment of the Nimrud Rescue Project, share some of the finds and successes at the site, and talk more about plans for its future.
