Dr. Osama Shukir Muhammed Amin FRCP(Edinburgh), FRCP(Glasgow), FRCP(Ireland), FRCP(London), FACP, FAHA, FRSA! I'm very interested in photography; I take photos of archaeological and ancient sites as well as artifacts housed in museums. But, I'm an associate professor of neurology, consultant neurologist, and director of the Neurology Board, Sulaymaniyah. In addition, I'm a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, UK.

My article and photos about the newly discovered tablet V of the Epic of Gilgamesh in the Ancient History Encyclopedia, in September 2015, drew the attention of the World to this hidden gem. Many photos of mine have appeared in many history and archaeology books, articles, brochures, and banners.

My main focus is Mesopotamian history; I have contributed numerous high-quality images of Mesopotamian artifacts, ancient Mesopotamian cities, Paleolithic caves in Iraq, and rock reliefs. I've published many articles on several websites about Mesopotamia. I'm also interested in ancient Egypt! But I have contributed to almost all the World's civilizations.

I use Nikon D90, Nikon D610, Nikon D750, Nikon Zfc, and Nikon Z6II cameras, with several lenses.
