It has always been that, in conflicts, the winners get to write the history.
It is also that the winners have the right to destroy the history!
Watch it happen for yourself: (Warning, unpleasant images, some surely offensive to believers)
BBC News - Nimrud Outcry as IS bulldozers attack ancient Iraq site
"Iraqi archaeologist Dr Lamia Al-Gailani: "If you destroy it, you destroy your own history"
Dr Gailani told the BBC: "Nimrud for us in Iraq and for me as an archaeologist is one of the most important [sites]. There are still quite a lot of things that are standing - the reliefs and the statues, the famous winged bulls."
"They are erasing our history. I wish it was a nightmare and I could wake up."
'It is a "horrific crime against the cultural heritage of the whole world", said the president of the British Institute for the Study of Iraq, John Curtis, calling Nimrud "the best preserved Assyrian site in Iraq".'
"Last week, IS released a video apparently showing militants with sledgehammers destroying historic artefacts in a museum in Mosul."
Remember, one of the primary missions of ISIS, when they sack Rome, is to destroy all the artworks. It's all idolatry to them and MUST go.
