    An Iraqi tour guide looks on as soldiers from the 4th Special Troops Battalion, 4th Brigade, 1st Armored Division, explore what is thought to be the biblical home of Abraham. The ruins were discovered near the Great Ziggurat of Ur, built some 4,000 years ago by the Sumerian king Ur-Nammu to honor their moon god, Nanna. Army photo by Spc. Shane P.S. Begg
