Ancient Bronze Age city reemerges from Iraq river after extreme drought

When an extreme drought caused a 3,400-year-old city to reemerge from a reservoir on the Tigris River in northern Iraq, archaeologists raced to excavate it before the water returned.

The Bronze Age city, at an archaeological site called Kemune, is a relic of the Mittani Empire (also spelled Mitanni Empire), an ancient kingdom that ruled parts of northern Mesopotamia from around 1500 B.C. to 1350 B.C. Researchers have long known of the remains of the city, but they can only investigate them during droughts.

Archaeologists partly excavated Kemune in 2018 and discovered a lost palace with 22-foot-high (7 meters) walls and chambers decorated in painted murals, Live Science previously reported. This time, researchers mapped most of the city, including an industrial complex and a multistory storage facility that likely held goods from all over the region, according to a statement released by the University of Tübingen in Germany.

The video was is about 12 minutes, and describes the effects of climate change on Iraq, specifically the “Dying Garden of Eden.” Remember studying about the “Cradle of Civilization” when you were a kid. (I do; maybe schools don’t teach about it anymore.) This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it’s dead. Produced by Vice. Description from Vice:

In Iraq, climate change has transformed the once mythical mesopotamian marshes into deserts. It's not only temperatures that exceed 125°F and record low rainfall, but dams built by Turkey, Iran, and Syria on the Tigris and Euphrates river have stopped the flow of water before it can pass the border. Thousands have already been displaced in a drought that threatens the entire country.

Some times even drought proves fruitful in few aspects as in this case of Iraq.

I haven't decided on anything in my life yet, except for the type of women.

Luxurious and domineering witch who can kill you

And a cute little cinnamon bun(who could possibly kill you too)

Just 'Angrboda/Sigyn style' (but I'm not Loki)

My ideal pairing: Angrboda/Sigyn, Maleficent/Aurora, Alys/Helaena, Yennefer/Ciri
