The Hatra Falcon

[Paul Younan]

Shlama Akhay,

Here is an image of from the 1st century AD in Hatra, Assyria (just south of Nineveh) during the Parthian period.

Notice the Aramaic inscription on the left - this is the ancestor of the "Ktav Ashuri" script beautifully preserved for us till today! <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->
