Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant has released a video showing jihadists smashing, bulldozing and blowing up 3,000-year-old artefacts in the ancient Assyrian capital of Nimrud.
The video depicting the destruction at the Iraqi site shows jihadists using sledgehammers and drills to smash huge alabaster reliefs and a bulldozer to bring down walls.
The jihadists are then shown placing barrels apparently filled with explosives before blowing up three separate areas of the site, one of Iraq's greatest archaeological treasures.

Do the Assyrians still have their Right to Return?
I’d say Raqqa needs a nuke much more powerful than a 1000 sledgehammers will ever be about now...
Human history being destroyed the ROP... Sad.
All they do is destroy. Brute force is all they seem to know.
What will these demons need to do to bring the wrath of civilization down on their heads? NOT a rhetorical question. They have murdered, destroyed, raped and plundered everything and everyone in their wake. Still they are treated as misunderstood juvenile delinquents by our coward president. If they slaughter every queer in range perhaps he will do something other than quiver in a WH corner.
THe Kaaba itself is a pagan shrine and the black stone was a pagan false god from pre-islamic times. Nobody worships the archeological remains of Nimrud, but a billion muslims worship the pre-islamic idols of Kaaba. Why don’t these demonic hypocrites take up sledgehammers against the black stone and the Kaaba?
It's almost as if they were demonic.
Islam is not a religion and its followers are destructive in every action. while it may not be worth killing them over destroying our world’s history, as this is not just local history, it further proves how repugnant and unredeemable Islam really is. This is not a religion, it is a cult based not on peace, but on wonton destruction, rape, pillage, and violence.
Destruction is right. Destruction of human life, destruction of history, destruction of civility. War exists everywhere Islam exists. If, God forbid, the world ever became completely Muslim, it would be better if the apes took over.
If we had a president, we might have been able to help preserve human history, instead we have someone who lives in the White House and plays golf.
Interesting article regarding Nimrod by Walid Shoebat...
Another triumph of Obama’s (and Hillary’s) “smart power” approach to foreign policy.
That being said, the true extent of unmapped treasures in that area are still under the untapped and ancient city centers of Erbil, for example, and elsewhere, still outside the filthy grasp and resources of these murdering swine.
daaesh trash.
Trying to look on the bright side, at a later date
perhaps some artifacts will come to light that
would not have been discovered without this
destruction.
An example of why it is good that Western museums, especially outside of Europe (as the muslims will destroy them too), exist.
OK.
One of the reason we haven’t totally obliterated that area, at least back before we had a mzzie _resident, was that precious artifacts and antiquities that belonged to the history of humanity were there.
Now they are gone, so......
Good point!
