In 1845 British world traveler and archaeologist Austen Henry Layard presided over the excavations of Kuyunjik and Nimrud, the ancient Assyrian city located south of Nineveh on the Tigris river in modern Iraq. Here he unearthed the lost palace of Sennacherib (which contained 71 rooms and colossal bas-reliefs) and also discovered the palace and library of Ashurbanipal, which contained over 20,000 cuneiform clay tablets. Nineveh and Its Remains (2 vols.) contains an account of the incredible discoveries of the archeological dig, as well as the trials and tribulations that Layard went through to uncover and preserve these important biblical sites. Along with these page-turning events, Layard includes dozens of plates, charts, illustrations, drawings, and maps.
