Iraqi National Museum Re-Opens
The Iraqi National Museum has re-opened to the public. The museum has been closed since 2003 due to the war. The museum was also broken into by looters several years ago, with about 4,000 of the stolen antiquities having been recovered (according to today's edition of the Wall Street Journal).
I have worked in the securities industry for more than thirty years and founded a consulting firm (ASJ International, Inc.) in the financial services industry in 2009. I also trade stocks and options.
I have a B.A. in Middle Eastern Studies from City University of New York and have been studying the Ancient Near East for over 40 years. I was formerly the Secretary of the Egyptological Seminar of New York and have lectured there and at City University of New York. I can read Akkadian, Sumerian and Ancient Egyptian.
