ISIS has once again destroyed even more precious ancient history in Iraq on Mar. 5.

The terrorist group known as ISIS was in the media last week when a group of militants stormed into a museum in Mosul and began to destroy ancient artifacts that dated all the way back to the Assyrian and Akkadian’s empires. The Gurdian stated that the terrorists were acting because the artifacts celebrated idol worship, and that their polytheist ways went against the Quran. The terrorist group then read from Quran.

At this time it is unknown whether or not the same militants that destroyed the ancient artifacts are the same group of militants that are responsible for the destruction of the ancient city of Nimrud. CNN news reports that the ancient city was once apart of the Assyrian Kingdom. Nimrud, the report stated is just south of the city Mosul were the destruction of the museum took place last week.

The extent of the damage to the historic city is at the time unknown. However, the CNN report did state that the militant group was bulldozing city, and the ruins of the once great city were being destroyed. This is yet another continuation of the terror that ISIS is perpetuating across Iraq.
