Ancient Mesopotamian Artifacts Smashed in New ISIS Video

[skywizard]

The Mosul Museum had been considered one of the most important museums in Iraq.


To the horror of archaeologists, skywizard and the other history buffs around the world, militants with the extremist group ISIS released a new video Feb. 26 that shows ancient Mesopotamian sculptures and other artifacts being smashed inside northern Iraq's Mosul Museum.

The destruction — which comes weeks after ISIS deliberately destroyed library collections in Mosul — is part of an ongoing effort by ISIS militants to get rid of objects and structures they consider idolatrous, whether that means obliterating archaeological relics or demolishing Sufi shrines.


You guys can read the rest of the story at: http://www.livescience.com/49968-anc...sis-video.html I'm not reading or finish posting it. It makes me deathly sick that people can destroy what little ancient history we have left!! Sorry this is just how I feel.

This is the signature of the history destroying Anglo-American-Israeli axis. By their works and fruits we will know who is paying them and working with them. Destruction of this history was plain during the looting of the war there. It is part of the real plan for that part of the world. Stargates notwithstanding.
