Illustrated Story

Illustrated Story
I have discovered a fascinating illustrated story on a wall with the characters looking out of time and place. Since I can’t decipher the text (I think it is Assyrian), I am asking any linguists out there what the narrative says. I asked Siri and Google and they are clueless.

This photo was taken by a Kowa Super 66 medium format film camera with a KOWA 1:3.5/55 lens and Kowa L39•3C(UV) ø67 filter using Kodak Portra 800 film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.

The people of the past wished to leave a record of their story from this ancient wall much in the way that a photo does.

A web search provided more details of this Neo-Assyrian wall panel during the time of ruler, Ashurnasirpal II
Gypsum wall panel relief: carved and showing tribute bearers. One has a North West Syrian type turban and raises clenched hands in token of submission; the second may be Phoenician and brings a pair of apes. There is an inscription written in cuneiform script with partial white infilling in some of the signs. Originally with traces of black paint at the top.
