Very sad news, indeed: http://www.cbc.ca/m/touch/news/story/1.2985789 "Iraqi officials in the northern city of Mosul said Saturday that militants with the Islamic State group have begun demolishing the ancient archaeological site of Hatra in northern Iraq in a push to rid its territory of symbols it says promote idolatry." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatra "Hatra became an important fortified frontier city and withstood repeated attacks by the Roman Empire, and played an important role in the Second Parthian War. It repulsed the sieges of both Trajan (116/117) and Septimius Severus (198/199)." guy
Edit forum rules, now all hope is gone, this is a beautiful place, please remove them from this earth...now I am really sad...
I AM STILL CRYING. DUTCH NEWS: http://www.trouw.nl/tr/nl/4496/Buit.../03/07/IS-begint-met-vernietiging-Hatra.dhtml SUCH BEAUTIFUL PLACE.....................
When they slay people like sheep, I won't be shocked to see them destroy the valuable archaeological stones. Even animals , the like of dolphins, cats and dogs have more " humane " feelings than these abnormal creatures.
That is horrible on such a historical sight. It make me want to cry. It make me sad they have no respect to historic places that should be cherished for generations. Once it is gone it is gone for ever and can never be brought back.
