Relief of King Ashurnasirpal II from the palace of Ashurnasirpal II, Kalhu (modern Nimrud, Iraq), c. 883–859 BCE. Brooklyn Museum, New York
The text is in cuneiform script and in the Akkadian language. The text (known as the Standard Inscription) traces Ashurnasirpal II's lineage, tells of his military victories, how he founded Kalhu, built the palaces there, and defines the boundaries of his empire.
