: Why not give it to the people of Iraq once this war is over?
: Perhaps with an inscription on its base that reads.
: "Queen Shamiram, the first Empress in world history.
: Dedicated to the descendants of the ancient Assyrians, the modern-day people of Iraq."
: Enscription written in Syriac and English.
Tiglath,
I agree with everything you said but the last line: In order to be as friendly to all cultures as we can and promote unity, the inscription should be written in:
1. Estrangelo
2. East Syriac
3. West Syriac
4. Arabic
5. "Kurdish" Arabic
6. Turkish
7. Any other languages spoken/written in Iraq
8. English.
Do you agree?
