    jasonalikur The ancient Assyrian city of Kilizu (modern Qasr Shemamok) in the Kurdistan Region, Iraq. Terrain from UAV photogrammetry. Things to look for on the citadel: an Ottoman fort, Saddam-era military trenches, craters from US airstrikes, French excavations since 2011. A personal fave. t.co/hOEus06JUz
