Dear MEL Topic Readers,

History destroyed: The ruins of Mosul Museum

Precious Assyrian and Sumerian antiquities that had been exhibited in the museum in Musul, one of the major cities in Iraq, were ruthlessly destroyed by the hands of ISIL, The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIS, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.

Sumer was the first urban civilization in the southern Mesopotamia, now southern Iraq, during the 20^th and around 50^th century BC, one of the first civilization with Ancient Egypt and the Indus Valley.

Assyria was a major Mesopotamian East kingdom and empire that existed as a state from the 25th century BC.

Both early-age civilizations left valuable antiquities that can never be replaced or reproduced.

Why did those extremist terrorists destroy such things of significance in human history?

See the video to find what they did.
