I’m going to be wary of such accounts for now. I well remember the tales from Baghdad, that turned out to be propaganda regarding antiquities being looted or destroyed.
iraq had huge amounts of it’s antiquities looted.....i have met the man the pentagon put in charge of hunting them down....
Although the pictures and video are fairly convincing.
That's not true. A good friend of mine was in charge of the taskforce that worked for more than a year to reclaim some of the lost antiquities. I hadn't heard anything recently, but a few years ago that had repatriated most of it, but there were still some things missing.
His name is Matthew Bogdanos, and he actually wrote a book about it called Thieves of Baghdad.
