Paw prints of a dog that wandered on to the drying clay more than 2 000 years ago obscure part of the cuneiform inscription – a reminder that these ruins were once a living city. This is the heritage of Iraq, and we need to save it, said Al-Taee. As part of a new generation of archaeologists, Al-Taee, 29, works for the Iraqi government on a World Monuments Fund project aimed at stemming the damage to one of the world s best.
