Archaeology: A Secret History - BBC Four Episode 2 “The Search for Civilisation”Some of the very first archaeological photographs held in Les Archives Nationales -French National Archives. The pictures were taken in ancient Mesopotamia, Iraq, during a French expedition in the early 1850s.Some of those photographs are very important because what we see on the photograph actually got lost on the way to France (in a river). All we have now is the photograph of some of these objects. Thanks to these images archaeologists still can work with this lost material.French National Archives, Paris, France -- source link
