Archaeologists have unearthed 2,700-year-old rock carvings in Iraq.
An excavation group had been working to reconstruct the traditional Mashki Gate, which Islamic State (IS) militants destroyed in 2016.
The eight marble relics present finely chiselled warfare scenes, grape vines and palm bushes and date again to the Assyrian King Sennacherib, who dominated the traditional metropolis of Nineveh from 705 to 681 BC.
The archaeologists are working to revive the Mashki Gate website to the way it was earlier than IS bulldozed it.
