ISIS increasingly sadistic.

Palmyra was on the verge of collapse.

In the hands of the Islamic State (IS), the world heritage sites of UNESCO version destroyed. City of Nimrud, Hatra, Nineveh and Mosul Museum in Iraq marred by brutal. Now the militants were previously known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) that dominate the old city of Palmyra, Syria. Many people are afraid of the world heritage will be in the same boat with the other old town controlled by al Qaeda militant splinter it.

Syria has a variety of ancient cultural heritage that is scattered in various parts of the country, but among the historic sites, Palmyra is the most beautiful. You could say it is a gem of all the sites in Syria. Thousands of tourists pouring into the city before the civil war in Syria occurred. Currently the old city that are designated as world cultural heritage by UNESCO in 1980, has fallen completely into the hands of ISIS. A matter of time until the city was turned to rubble after being destroyed ISIS meaningless.
"We think this is a frightening development (from ISIS)," says the founder of the archaeological institute Paulson Institute Deborah Lehr.
"Culture is an important part to know who we are," he added.

Until Friday evening (22/5), ISIS has not destroy the sites in the city of Palmyra, but this time the Syrian government has lost contact with the Palmyra. Director of Antiquities and Museums of Syria Museum Maamoun Abdulkarim fear events in Nimrud and Museum Mosul, Iraq will be repeated in the country. When succeeded in occupying Nimrud, ISIS destroyed most of the city's historical heritage.
"Nobody knows what their plans are. But I think they can destroy antiquities as they did in Iraq," said Abdulkarim. Palmyra there are ancient tombs, Colosseum, temples and various other Roman relics coming from two thousand years ago.
"Tomb Tamourian have seen ISIS statues as idols to be destroyed," he added. Though based on a statement from Al-Azhar University, Egypt, the destruction of cultural heritage is prohibited in Islam.

Director-General of UNESCO Irina Bokova asserted, ancient objects in Palmyra is a treasure trove of history that can not be replaced. He asserted that the destruction in Palmyra not only war crimes, but also a very big loss for humanity.
"We have to make everything possible to prevent destruction (Palmyra). We need a large movement of the international community," he said.
The Syrian government itself seems to already know that Palmyra became the target and would fall into the hands of ISIS. Since ISIS towards Palmyra two months ago, the Syrian government has secured most ancient relics in the city. Massive displacement conducted this month when the position of the Syrian forces increasingly cornered. However, some of the artifacts have been stolen and smuggled out of Syria.

Historic objects are believed to have been sold to criminal networks along the border and auctioned on the international black market. UNESCO itself has been petrified Syrian government to move artifacts out of the war zones. They also train border officials and Interpol as well as an auction clerk Syria to detect objects looted art.
"We made great efforts to objects (historic) which can be moved to a safer location," said officer UNESCO World Heritage Centre in Paris Karim Hendili.

It is unknown what the historical objects that have been lost or damaged due to the war in Syria. Currently historians can only wait until the ISIS post videos destruction in Palmyra to know a part of history that has been destroyed.
"Before the turbulent civil war, there are about 65,000 residents of Palmyra," said Associated Press yesterday (23/5).
Post-2011, that number had decreased significantly and are now residents of Palmyra is getting slightly, largely fled to safety. They clearly do not want to end up like the city or town Hatra Nimrud which also falls into the hands of ISIS and destroyed at the hands of the militants were very cruel.
"Palmyra has its own place in the hearts of the citizens of Syria. Palmyra is very special. The people of Syria are very proud of him," said Salam Al-Kuntar, the Syrian archaeologists also listed as a graduate student University of Pennsylvania. He added that Palmyra is not only beautiful and elegant, but also important for the civilized world. Thank ksih have read this article.
