The Epic of the National Museum of Damascus: Syria's Book in Stone, Clay, and Gold
ملحمة متحف دمشق الوطني: كتاب سوريا الذي كُتب بالحجر والطين والذهب
Ten chapters walk through the National Museum of Damascus, founded in 1919 in the Al-Adiliyah Madrasa and entered through the reconstructed gate of the Umayyad Qasr al-Hayr al-Gharbi: flint tools, the tablets of Mari, Ebla and Ugarit, the faces of Palmyra, the painted synagogue of Dura-Europos, and the staff who hid the collections during the war.
