Very interesting read ! I am reminded of Agatha Christie who lived in Iraq for a number of years with her archeologist husband and based many of her novels there , in fact in one of the digs in Assyrian Empire as well..
Pay no mind to those who talk behind your back, it simply means that you are two steps ahead !!!
