Islamic State destroys 2500 year old Babylonian Temple of Nabu.
They made a video bragging about it too.

So yet another irreplaceable, ancient part of our history is gone forever.
I admit I hadn't even heard of this place before today. Anybody here an expert on ancient Babylon? What was this place, how important was it? What did humanity lose today?
Apparently they threatened the Egyptian pyramids too. I haven't heard of any ISIS attacks in Egypt so I don't know how credible that one is.

Please don't cite a site which pandered for that dismal war. Anyway destroying rent is basically Daesh's main strategy. Remember that their main goal is a war of exhaustion between them and Assad.
No one knew those artifacts existed until they were destroyed. In other words, no one cared. Now we're supposed to because some ragheads are destroying them?

If ISIS goes after the pyramids it's game over. They will be wiped out with blinding speed

They are saying it happened because of general religion ((Belief in God)) rather than just extremist Muslims.
ALl religions really are the same and that sort of bullshit,

Thanks anon. I didn't know that. I feel like there's been so many terrorist attacks they're starting to blur together.

>Doesn't care about ancient ruins being destroyed
OK anon.
Most people don't have an exhaustive encyclopedic knowledge of every last ancient site in the world. I came here asking if anybody had more information on it and what it's significance was.
Your shits all retarded and you talk like a fag.

Is Charlie Hebdo the edgiest magazine in France?

It moved to Rome as the seat of all that is unholy.

If OP's post was never made, you wouldn't care. I'm just pointing out your complacency. Unless you're a paragon for archeological extraction from the hands of religious extremists. Then I'm oh, so sorry.
>>1263495
sorry not everyone is as cynical as you
So nobody on this board knows what this place was? I thought we has a few knowledgable anons here
>>1263414
> it happened because of general religion
Can you name any atheist who destroyed historical heritage like that? Even commies wasn't that retarded.

If there's any consolation the gate at 0:56 (Adad gate) is actually a recent attempt at restoration, you can tell by the smaller mud brick construction.

Nope, i mean Fluid Glacial is way more acidic and violent.
But since Charb died Charlie's soul is lost forever.
Dont forget that France is the home to Metal Hurlant and Sartre, there is a tradition in here that is to mock you ennemy so you expose them rather than make them explode.

Well hes probably raged at other isis destructions and would not rage at this one if he didnt know it happened.
Are you guys supposed to kill yourselves? Get it over with.
