DescriptionUNESCO mission to Nineveh, Iraq, April 2017.jpg |
English: This image was taken in April 2017 during a UNESCO mission to Nineveh, Iraq, which was heavily destroyed and excavated by ISIS. Destruction of cultural heritage and archaeological looting is a global issue that threatens the preservation of our shared cultural heritage. Illegal excavations have exponentially increased due to the conflicts in the Middle East. Illegal excavation destroys the archaeological context of cultural objects, which is vital for uncovering information about the cultures and people who produced them.
Archaeological context gives an artifact a story, and connects it to the larger history of an ancient region. Looters systematically destroy the remains of civilizations in their quest for sellable artefacts. If these same artefacts were properly excavated, they could have provided very valuable historical and scientific information. Română: Această imagine a fost făcută în aprilie 2017 în timpul unei misiuni UNESCO la Ninevah, Irak, localitate distrusă de ISIS. Nimicirea patrimoniului cultural și furtul de artefacte arhitecturale sunt o problemă globală care amenință conservarea patrimoniului cultural comun. Excavațiile ilegale au crescut dramatic în intensitate din cauza conflictelor in Orientul Mijlociu. Acestea distrug contextul arheologic al obiectelor de cultură, care este foarte important pentru a studia culturile și oamenii care le-au produs. Contextul arhitectural spun o poveste pentru fiecare obiect de cultură și îl conectează cu istoria unui anumit teritoriu antic. Tâlharii fură aceste obiecte în interesul de a le vinde. Dacă obiectele erau excavate de arheologi, acestea ar fi putut oferi informații istorice și științifice prețioase. |
