An Ancient Persian Artifact Was Recovered During U.S. Army’s Operation. You Won’t Believe What They Found

The Mask of Warka was found by Dr. A. Noldeke, a German archaeologist in 1939. It was one of the kind masonries that had a woman’s face carved on it. The piece was situated in the south of modern-day Baghdad. Noldeke at first glance thought it was a part of a much larger statue. However, he realized its real value not before he picked the piece.
