Will Iraq’s Historic Churches Be Restored?
05/25/2021 Iraq (International Christian Concern) – Historic churches in Iraq are battered by the harsh environment and years of conflict. Yet is the continued government negligence that leaves them crumbling, deteriorating, and therefore potentially disqualified for even the UNESCO Tentative List of heritage sites.
Al Aqiser church sits southwest of Baghdad in Ain Tamr. The 1,500-year-old church has been allowed to crumble to bare walls. Under Saddam Hussein the area was converted to a military firing range, while harsh heat and rain and a lack of funds keep locals from being able to protect the ancient church.
“Conventional Bible chronology”?? Way back in 1910, the
Catholic Encyclopedia (“Job”), stated:
The author of the book is unknown, neither can the period in which it was written be exactly determined. . . . It is now universally and correctly held that the book is not earlier than the reign of Solomon [approximately 960-920 BC].
Protestant evangelical (“conservative”) scholar Gleason L. Archer, in his book,

The Embassy of Libya, the British Museum and HMRC collaborate to return a rare, ancient funerary statue
The statue has now been transferred to the Libyan Embassy.
LONDON
.-The British Museum and HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) have collaborated with the Embassy of Libya to assist in the return of a rare and striking 2nd century BC funerary statue from Cyrene. The statue was seized by Border Force officials at Heathrow airport several years ago having been illicitly imported into the United Kingdom to be offered for sale. In 2013 specialists at the British Museum were asked to assist in the identification of the statue. Museum staff instantly alerted HMRC to the importance of the statue noting that only a handful of these sculptural types are found in museum or private collections outside of Libya. The fresh surface of the statue was characteristic of marble that had only been out of the soil for a few years. This suggested that the statue had only recently been illegally excavated
