Google documents Iraqi history
Updated on 24 November 2009
Google is documenting Iraq's national museum and will post photographs of its ancient treasures on the internet early next year, chief Eric Schmidt has announced.
The museum was ransacked in the chaotic aftermath of Saddam Hussein's ouster in April 2003, and only reopened to visitors early this year.
Mr Schmidt, who toured the museum with US Ambassador Christopher Hill, said it was important for the world to see Iraq's rich heritage and contribution to world culture.
