Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I'm not sure I'm even going to open Janson!. I won't answer all of them either, however,

20: relief structures in the decorations of public buildings!. If they had any subject, most Assyrian sculptures celebrated feats of warfare and hunting!. Certainly they glorified some rulers but there work is very much propaganda about how they are great warriors!.

22!. All of the structures from this time were made of clay brick and natural erosion has destroyed many of them!.

23-5 The most famous surviving feature is the Ishtar Gate!. Covered with Lions, unicorns and Bulls, it can be seen in Berlin (OK, I cheated!. I checked Janson's History of Art -- the eleventh printing from 1967)

26 Persepolis was built by Darius the first!.

28 Glassware

29 Upper Egypt was the mountains in the south!.
