@TBowmanNPR @lrozen #Iraq May 1855, a ship bearing two-hundred cases of Assyrian antiquities excavated at Khorsabad being shipped to The Louvre, was sunk and lost above a confluence on the Tigris River. 28 cases were found. In 1971, a Japan team went on a mission after it. https://t.co/pchEJ2zW8Z https://t.co/hT6f1ZgZ1h
