<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 3449760, member: 44316&quot;]I was looking at old threads in the &quot;ancient artifacts&quot; Yahoo group and someone had posted this link about cultural property and whether ISIS was profiting from it. It is a May 22, 2018 article I had not seen until now.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://culturalpropertynews.org/whose-truth-nyt-journalist-condemned-for-cultural-appropriation/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://culturalpropertynews.org/whose-truth-nyt-journalist-condemned-for-cultural-appropriation/" rel="nofollow">https://culturalpropertynews.org/whose-truth-nyt-journalist-condemned-for-cultural-appropriation/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>It says that a New York Times reporter found abandoned ISIS documents that show &quot;ISIS Funding Comes from Taxes, Not Oil or Art.&quot; &quot;It was daily commerce and agriculture — not petroleum — that powered the economy of the caliphate.&quot; Some groups are attempting to suppress the publication of the documents which prove that collecting is not the problem and those groups were wrong when they asserted that collecting was the problem. </p><p><br /></p><p>There are individuals and groups opposed to ancient-coin collecting. They have used arguments like &quot;Collectors make looting profitable and ISIS has made millions from looting.&quot; Now we know that argument is specious.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
