Members of the Islamic State are plundering old
archaeological places for all Iraq and Syria to industrial scale, and selling
the treasures that find middlemen to get money, the UNESCO has said. A fifth
part of those around 10.000 grateful places internationally as of
archaeological interest of Iraq they are low the control of the Islamic State
and they have been completely plundered, and it is not clear what has happened
in "other thousands" of places, Irina Bokova of the UNESCO said in a
meeting of experts in London. Some locate in Syria they have been robbed to
such an extent that they no longer have value some for historians and
archaeologists, and the UNESCO every time it is more concerned for that than it
can happen in Libya, he said.
The auto proclaimed caliphate of the Islamic State has
in its power fields of petroleum, and some of the most valuable archaeological
treasures in the earth, that is to say that fools are not they will be all the
cruel ones that they are but they know how to invest in goods of great value.
They make it destroying a region where the old Assyrian lifted their capitals,
the civilization Greek-Roman and different Muslim sects flourished and
Christian have cohabited during centuries. The members of the group whose
strict interpretation Salafist of the Islam considers idolatry the adoration of
the tombs and the non-Islamic vestiges, they have also published videotapes in
those that appear destroying the profaned human remains.
The deliberate destruction, the one that are seeing
today in Iraq and Syria, has reached levels without precedents in the
contemporary history, Bokova told the Royal United Services Institute of
London. This non alone destruction continues, but rather it happens in a systematic
way. The looting of archaeological excavations and museums, particularly in
Iraq, it has reached an industrial scale of destruction. This cultural cleaning
as they qualify her the terrible yihadistas, it is not focused to destroy the
roots common of the humanity, but it is also a financing source for the rebels
that charge to the local farmers to dig in the locations, selling what you/they
find private collectors from all over the world later.
A series of images for satellite helped the UNESCO to
understand what was happening, Bokova he said, but in some areas there were hundreds
of holes in the floor of where archaeological remains had been extracted, and
it was complicated to see what it was what had been plundered. They already
come not it alone they kill to the alive ones but rather they also remove us
the history to all and for if went little they kill to the deads, this is a
cruelty without precedents I believe that in these moments they have already
overcome the horrors of the Nazism.
But the western world continues looking alone the
economic aspects that more gives that the humanity's history is wasted if the
debt of Greece you could not finance we could make the same thing because we
don't destroy all vestige of the old Greece of the Roman empire, the tombs of
kings emperors and other characters that have made our history get up and we
dismember them and then we begin to sell archaeological treasures and
Napoleon's finger or Julio's Cesar foot, to take out money and to finance the Greek
debt and some that of the other ones because like let us continue allowing to
make when we realize the we will spread here in Europe undoing our history to
deny it and to leave them of zero, but what difference does it make, maybe when
they arrive there will no longer be necessity to destroy anything because we
will already have made it ourselves worried by the sovereign debt.
