This dig near Mosul Iraq, in the ruins of the ancient city of Nineveh by Iraqi and American archeologists is definitely finding sexy artifacts: Precious objects made of ostrich eggshells, elaborately painted walls, furniture inlaid with carved hippopotamus and elephant ivory, and an especially amazing object…
