RECONSTRUCTION OF THE PALACE OF NIMRUD
                
               
                The 
                  Palace of Nimrud (9th 8th centuries BC).  
                This 
                  reconstruction of the Palace of Nimrud (by J.Ferguson) shows 
                  the sophistication of the Chaldeans. The steeped pyramid to 
                  the left may have been used for astronomical observations.
