Where might overseas military intervention, the Kurdish autonomous zone, and a French archaeologist accidentally meet? Why, at the Citadel in Erbil, Iraq, which "rivals Jericho and a handful of other famous towns for the title of the oldest continuously inhabited site in the world." To showcase its archaeological wealth, the aforesaid Frenchman, "with impeccably moussed hair," has opened a makeshift museum nearby, "with ornate old pillars and an unroofed central court." Will he uncover the ancient past before Civil War breaks out? NYT
