    "Do not walk on top of these rocks. Keep our history safe." Since 2003, security of the 5000-year old ziggurat of Ur, located near the modern city of An Nasiriyah, Iraq, has mainly been under control of coalition forces. However, responsibility for the ziggurat was transferred to Iraqi security forces, May 13.
