How Iraq s Daesh-ransacked Mosul Cultural Museum is being repaired from scratch

DUBAI: On Feb. 26, 2015, disturbing footage emerged from northwestern Iraq showing Daesh militants smashing pre-Islamic artefacts and burning ancient manuscripts at the Mosul Cultural Museum. The terrorist group had seized control of the multi-ethnic city the previous year, and had set about looting everything of value and destroying anything that failed to conform to its warped ideology. Priceless objects, spread across the museum’s three central halls, had told the singular narrative of Iraq as a land of remarkable civilizations from the Sumerians and the Akkadians to the Assyrians and the Babylonians. A member of the Iraqi forces holds a damaged artifact in the museum on March 13, 2017. (AFP)
