Who am I?

edit

Dr. Osama Shukir Muhammed Amin FRCP(Edinburgh), FRCP(Glasgow), FRCP(Ireland), FRCP(London), FACP, FAHA, FRSA! I'm very interested in photography; I take photos of archaeological and ancient sites as well as artifacts housed in museums. But, I'm an associate professor of neurology, consultant neurologist, and director of the Neurology Board, Sulaymaniyah. In addition, I'm a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, UK.

My article and photos about the newly discovered tablet V of the Epic of Gilgamesh in the Ancient History Encyclopedia, in September 2015, drew the attention of the World to this hidden gem. Many photos of mine have appeared in many history and archaeology books, articles, brochures, and banners.

My main focus is Mesopotamian history; I have contributed quite a few high-quality images of Mesopotamian artifacts, ancient Mesopotamian cities, Paleolithic caves in Iraq, and rock reliefs. I've published many articles on several websites about Mesopotamia. I'm also interested in ancient Egypt! But, I have contributed to almost all World's civilizations.

I use Nikon D90, Nikon D610, and Nikon D750 cameras, with several lenses.

One of my Favorite Collections

The Throne Dais of the Assyrian king Shalmaneser III is carved with wonderful wonderful tributary scenes with a frontal panel depicting a handshaking event. All of these were shot by my Nikon D750 cam at the Iraq Museum in Baghdad
