No, it has priceless, 7000 year old treasures. Turns out on the well-developed black market, some anonymous Europoean collectors were putting orders in for things even before the bombs started dropping. And some things were removed from the museum with glass cutters.

What hasn't shaken out is how much the curators and Saddam's people had to do with all this.

I love math and I feel great sorrow that among the taken objects are ancient math texts. The babylonians had many mathetmatical discoveries B.C. which historians of math continue to study to understand, well, the history of math.
