The latest from Robert in Iraq:

Some of you may not know that my base is in the dead center of one of
the most important archeological sites in the middle east.

Within our wire, we have the Ziggurat of Ur. Ur is known in the Bible as Ur of
the Chaldees. Ur is known as the ancient city of the Sumerian civilization and the home of Abraham. It was the capital of a small wealthy empire during the third millennium B.C.

Most of the Ziggurat of Ur is still standing. I thought I would send out some pictures of the place. It is pretty cool.
