(AINA) — A 7th century B.C. Assyrian archaeological site in north Iraq has been vandalized. A picture posted on the twitter account of a Kurdish man shows a Kurdish flag spray-painted on the nearly 3,000 year old relief. The site is known as Khinnis and was once part of an aqueduct built by the Assyrian king Sennacherib in the 7th century. It is located near the city of Dohuk (Assyrian Noohadra).
