Death in Ice Valley is returning.

We've been trying to find answers to an unsolved mystery.

And now we're back with an update on the case.

We'll be here to tell you more about it at the end of this podcast.

On the main road leading into the Musil City Center, looking at the relentless traffic, the street vendors selling pastries and

fruit juice and the young women in their colorful hijab or headscarves walking

confidently, it's easy to forget that people here lived a very different life under the brutal rule of the so-called Islamic State.

Here in Musil, Iraq's second largest city after Baghdad, people lived under the control of Islamic State

for three years between 2014 and 2017. The city sustained huge damage during this time

and much of it I can still see. Some buildings have been reduced to

heaps of stone and metal. The crumbling houses that still stand are riddled with bullets.

These deserted buildings are a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of this busy city.

I'm Shaima Khalil and you're listening to Training to Save the Treasures of Iraq on the BBC World Service.

Last year I spent time with eight Iraqi women, professional archaeologists and architects who've traveled to London to train with the British Museum.

The museum began to work with Iraqi archaeologists while Musil was still under the control

of the so-called Islamic State, but this is the first time that any Iraqi women have joined

the scheme. The aim is to equip them with the skills to identify, restore and perhaps even

rebuild Iraq's devastated ancient sites.

I'm now going to catch up with them in their own city, Musil.

I want to see how they've put their training back in London

to use here in Iraq.

Oh, I see her.
