Ain Dara Temple. The nearest wall is lions walking head to tail but it is only one layer of blocks and there would have been another layer like the righthand wall, made of lions sitting up. These are all basalt and made in the days before metal tools.

 

In the distance is Turkey. This area is now in the heart of IS territory I believe.
