Visiting Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki is to inspect on Wednesday a major exhibition of treasures excavated from Babylon in southern Iraq, German Foreign Ministry officials said.
The 'Babylon, Myth and Truth' show unites the most valued finds now in the custody of Berlin, Paris and London including the Processional Way and the Ishtar Gate which are permanently displayed in the Pergamon Museum on the Berlin Island of Museums.
The Berlin show till October 5 is a joint venture with the Louvre of Paris and the British Museum of London. It is the first time the treasures have been reunited in one place since being removed from the buried ruins of Babylon a century ago.
