"They have looted or destroyed 170,000 items of antiquity dating back thousands of years...They were worth billions of dollars

170,000 items. Does that include every catalogued shard? This is horrible. But lets think about this for a moment or two. 170,000 items and an administrator that worked there for 30 years. How does one work for Saddam for 30 years and live? I bet the place was pre emptied and then all the cases were broken. Why would looters not take the cases?

Just some questions that need to be answered.
