"Now on display at the Royal Ontario Museum, Mesopotamia: Inventing Our World showcases hundreds of artifacts illustrating the achievements of these ancient empires. Highlights include a lyre with a bearded bull’s head and inlaid panel from the Royal Cemetery at Ur, a rare surviving Assyrian sculpture in the round depicting King Ashurnasirpal II, and a terracotta relief of a striding lion that once adorned the palace of Babylon’s Nebuchadnezzar II, who famously conquered Jerusalem, destroyed the Temple and exiled the Jews to Babylon."

Ashurnasirpal II
His harshness prompted a revolt that he crushed decisively in a pitched, two-day battle.
According to his monument inscription while recalling this massacre he says
"their men young and old I took prisoners.
Of some I cut off their feet and hands;
of others I cut off the ears noses and lips;
of the young men's ears I made a heap;
of the old men's heads I made a marinet.
I exposed their heads as a trophy in front of their city.
The male children and the female children I burned in flames;
the city I destroyed, and consumed with fire."

Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily,

 therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
