Ancient artifacts found in an underground ISIS tunnel in eastern Mosul, March 11, 2017. ISIS took control of Mosul in June 2014 and destroyed the museum's artifacts and antiquities. The tunnels dug by ISIS are under the shrine of Nabi Yunis, also believed to be the Tomb of Jonah. The site also includes the remains of the palace of King Esarhaddon, who ruled what is known as the neo-Assyrian Empire in seventh century B.C. (Photo/Agencies)
