Dar-shukkin in northern Iraq is a 2,700-year-old settlement from the ancient Assyrian capital of Khorsabad. At this site, archaeologists have conducted an exhaustive magnetic survey using a sophisticated magnetometer, and with the assistance of this technology they found the remains of a massive villa (with 127 rooms, double the size of the White House), royal gardens, the city’s water gate, and five large buildings that would have been used for various purposes.

Buried deep underground, the archaeologists underwent extremely tough conditions to conduct this survey. The magnetometer is a device that detects buried structures by mapping subtle changes in the Earth’s magnetic field, reports a press release by AGU, and that makes it an incredibly useful tool for archaeologists seeking to find hidden structures that have been lost for centuries.
