Ur of the Chaldeans.
Home of the Patriarch Abraham! These shots show us descending into the tombs of the Chaldean kings; standing on top of the walls of Abraham's house (Saddam restored them); an example of Cuneiform, the oldest known form of writing; the Ziggurat of Ur; and me standing with our guide, Dait.
