| Nimrud and the Islamic State Deliberate Destructions: An Update |
|
On November 13, 2016, Iraqi forces liberated the ancient site of Nimrud following over two years of ISIL occupation. For the first time since June 2014, Iraqi archaeologists as well as international experts and journalists gained access to the site, now heavily damaged. ASOR Cultural Heritage Initiatives (ASOR CHI) Academic Director Michael Danti provides a summary of the intentional destruction carried out by ISIL at the site, with a discussion of the Northwest Palace, the Nabu Temple, and the Ziggurat, as well as the implications that this kind of destruction has for Iraq’s rich cultural heritage. The essay includes new satellite imagery of the site, photos of the damage, and a timeline of Nimrud from ancient times to the present day. Click here to read the essay. |
