🇮🇶 Iraq｜National Museum of Baghdad

Home to the priceless relics of Mesopotamia—the cradle of civilization! 🌍📜 ✨ MUST-SEE TREASURES The Royal Tombs of Ur 👑💎: Gold jewelry, ancient instruments, and weapons. Code of Hammurabi (Replica) ⚖️: One of the world’s oldest legal codes (original in the Louvre—thanks, France 😒). Cuneiform Tablets 📜: Records of economy, religion, and politics from 5,000 years ago! 💔 WAR & RECOVERY The museum was looted during the 2003 Iraq War—15,000 artifacts stolen 😱. While some were recovered globally, many are still missing… (🔍 Looking at you, Western museums.) ⚠️ VISITOR NOTES Ticket: 25,000 IQD (~$19) — "Iraq’s standard price, but way pricier than Syria!" 💸 Crowds? Ghost town. 🏚️ Went during National Day—only a few Chinese tourists and zero locals (even on free-Friday). Condition: Poor labeling, patchy restoration… sigh. #TravelIraq #Mesopotamia #HistoryLovers #DarkTourism #MuseumHoppers
