The sprinter sustained a hamstring injury at last week's World Athletics Championships in Oregon.

On Wednesday she confirmed her withdrawal from the Commonwealths, writing on Instagram: “Thankfully I’ve only got a light hamstring strain after pulling up in the 4x1 a few days ago. But I just feel a bit confused because I felt fine coming in, went around the bend and my legs just stopped corresponding with me.” Asher-Smith pulled up during the women’s 4x100m relay with Great Britain well-placed for a medal.

Team England's Dina Asher-Smith has been forced to withdraw from the 2022 Commonwealth Games with a hamstring injury.

The hidden wonders of long-vanished cities that once housed kings and hummed with everyday life are being rediscovered thanks to modern-day archaeology.

A famous bronze head from the third millennium B.C. found there may depict King Sargon of Akkad. The city reached its height around 700 B.C. under Assyrian king Sennacherib. Some three square miles of palaces, temples, markets, and canals flourished within its doubled walls. Under Arabian control, Nineveh became an administrative centre, but declined and fell into ruin by the 13th century. But Megiddo was also a warring city, the scene of innumerable battles over its long history. The spectacular Ishtar Gate framed one entrance to the city. Archaeologists have focused attention on two sacred precincts dedicated to Anu, Sumerian god of the sky; and Inanna, Sumerian goddess of fertility and war. As Uruk’s power faded in the late third millennium B.C., another ancient Mesopotamian city rose in dominance. Megiddo, near present-day Haifa in Israel, grew and receded and grew again from 6000 B.C. until 500 B.C., peaking around 1600. They have determined some temples took the form of ziggurats—massive stepped towers built of brick where priests made offerings to the temple’s god. The clay tablets, inscribed by priests and scribes with sharp-edged shapes and symbols, comprise the world’s first known system of writing, called cuneiform because of the wedge-shaped imprints from which it’s formed. It’s one of the many pieces of correspondence archaeologists have discovered etched on clay tablets in Uruk, the chief city of Sumer, the earliest known civilization in southern Mesopotamia (near present-day Samawah, Iraq). By 2000 B.C., it thrived as an affluent port of roughly 60,000 people who enjoyed a level of wealth unknown in other Mesopotamian cities. Although little remains of these once grand civilisations, modern archaeology is uncovering pieces of their crumbled pasts, piecing together fascinating stories about their residents—both rich and poor—who once lived there.
