Yes, I read that. The Nimrud treasurers WERE among those that were feared to have been looted....(check google for all the articles Noel....) They were found AFTER all the hubbub ....summerged..... As the article say, most of the 12,000 pieces missing are small shards and individual beads. There appear to be about 30-32 major pieces still missing. NOT the hundreds of thousands of pieces that the media and the left ballyhooed all over the world as the fault of the Americans. And NO ONE has found what was in the convoy of items that Saddam took out of Iraq and was headed to Syria with last October 2002.....I posted that as well. The German press felt it included gold, and important paintings and other art objects .... The Nimrud treasures were not among those stolen after the war. They were found last month in a submerged bank vault.
