Is the world losing it's treasures/?

I am not going to go into ISIS

here. There are sites after site

about them, besides what I am

going to talk about, isn't just them.

While watching the news for the

past year, I have watched scene's

of men destroying national treasures.

For years this has happen.. but mostly

stolen in the WWII..  There is even a

treaty.

This that I found on internet

"destruction of cultural sites is forbidden

under a number of international treaties,

including the 1954 UNESCO Convention

on the Protection of Cultural Property in the

Event of Armed Conflict. And besides, the end

result is the same: the destruction of a history

and a culture."  (Washington Post- 6/5/15)

This year Yemen has been hit at many of the

historical sites. Castles, The 1,200-year-old

al-Hadi Mosque,has been hazed... and these

seem to be by the Saudi's with

planes flying over.. And it said, they can't tell the

old buildings from the new.. and it is war...kind of..

But what is disturbing is the ones on the ground,

who go into the museums and destroy statutes

of the country's founding fathers and etc.

That one was ISIS.  I presume they do it

because, if they get rid of the old, the people

would lose hope..  And you know that ISIS

does not pay any attention to any treaties...

heck they don't even pay attention to lives

itself... Especially others, as sadly we

have seen on the news. 

We know what will happen here, if they aren't

stopped. National treasures will be in pictures

only.. by the tourist.
