Khorsabad, Iraq: Ancient Site of the Assyrian Empire
Khorsabad is an important ancient site in Iraq, located about 15 kilometers north of the capital city of Baghdad, which was briefly the capital of the Assyrian Empire. Built by Assyrian King Sargon II in the 8th century BC as the center of his power, the city survived for a short time but left behind a rich legacy of Assyrian civilization. The site's massive palaces, relief walls and cuneiform tablets demonstrate the mastery of Assyrian architecture and art, with the famous "Sphinx" statue becoming a symbol of Assyrian culture. As a potential World Heritage Site recognized by UNESCO, Horsabad not only witnesses the power of the Assyrian Empire, but also provides valuable physical materials for the study of the ancient civilization of the Two Rivers Basin, making it an important destination for history buffs and archaeologists who want to explore the ancient civilization of Iraq.
