Ultimate explorer. Iraq's lost antiquities
Description
National Geographic Ultimate Explorer host Lisa Ling journeys to war-torn Iraq to investigate what happened to one of the greatest archaeological treasures of all time. A National Geographic Explorer team, working with Iraqi and U.S. military authorities, has assisted in the recovery of one of the greatest archaeological treasure troves of all time. Compared by some experts to the discoveries in Tutankhamen tomb, the treasure of Nimrod--which dates from the eighth and ninth centuries B.C.--consists of over 100 pounds of solid gold jewelry, precious metals and other priceless artifacts, including a crown made from more than a kilogram of gold.
