Police find rare Assyrian carvings of gods in underground Turkish tunnels long used by looters:

Önal, M., Uludağ, C., Koyuncu, Y. and Adalı, S. F. 2022. An Assyrianised rock wall panel with figures at Başbük in south-eastern Turkey. Antiquity, 1-17. Doi: 10.15184/aqy.2022.48

It is thought that the looters discovered the tunnels when the house was built. They connected them to the property and were used to smuggle out antiquities. Önal, M., Uludağ, C., Koyuncu, Y. and Adalı, S. F. 2022. An Assyrianised rock wall panel with figures at Başbük in south-eastern Turkey. Antiquity, 1-17.

The rare discovery raises questions about politics in the region under the Assyrian Empire, and whether the dominant Assyrians were taking a potentially softer approach to ruling than previously thought.
