HATRA's TREASURE (in memory of Hatra city) :(((
SOMEONE WANTS TO ERASE (systematically) SOME LAST EVIDENCES OF HUMAN HISTORY.
Good cover by terrorists... WHO is really behind of these creatures???
The ancient city of Hatra in northern Iraq. Islamists or who IS behind of them - demolished archaeological remains, the 8th of March, 2015!!!
The Paul IV *the Papa (if i remember right) said:
To subdue the people peacefully, I have very simple and usefully reliable way -
I delete their's past; the people without past are vulnerable. They lose their roots.
And so they become vulnerable and confused. Then I can write any history-story as
on clean canvas
Previously, they have destroyed ancient monuments of culture that do not meet (al-la) their religious doctrine. So, in February, militants blew up and burned the central library of the city of Mosul, destroyed sculptures pre-Islamic era, preserved in the museum of the city, and later destroyed the ruins of the ancient Assyrian city of Nimrud southeast of Mosul. In addition, the terrorists decided to destroy the ancient Assyrian city of Dur-Sharrukin…
A large fortified city under the influence of the Parthian Empire and capital of the first Arab Kingdom, Hatra withstood invasions by the Romans in A.D. 116 and 198 thanks to its high, thick walls reinforced by towers. The remains of the city, especially the temples where Hellenistic and Roman architecture blend with Eastern decorative features, attest to the greatness of its civilization.
LOVE, PEACE, LOVE,

???????? Calls in Iraq to protect archaeological treasures | Al Jazeera English
Some of Iraq's most significant archaeological discoveries have been made in the city of Samara.
Samara lies on both sides of the River Tigris north of Baghdad. It marks the site of a powerful Islamic capital that ruled over the Abbasid Empire which stretched from Tunisia to Central Asia for a century.
It’s estimated 80 per cent of it still lies undiscovered.
UNESCO says it should be protected as a World Heritage Site.
But locals say some of its landmarks are being left to crumble.

Lost Cities Forgotten by Time 2014 HD 1080p
It's hard to imagine how an entire city can get lost but that's exactly what has happened to the lost cities on this list. There are actually many reasons why a city has to be abandoned. War, natural disasters, climate change and the loss of important trading partners to name a few. Whatever the cause, these lost cities were forgotten in time until they were rediscovered centuries later.

The List of World Heritage in Danger is compiled by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
(UNESCO) through the World Heritage Committee according to Article 11.4 of the World Heritage Convention, which was
established in 1972 to designate and manage World Heritage Sites. Entries in the list are threatened World Heritage Sites
for the conservation of which major operations are required and for which assistance has been requested. The list is
intended to increase international awareness of the threats and to encourage counteractive measures. Threats to a site can
be either proven imminent threats or potential dangers that could have adverse effects on a site.
In the case of natural sites, ascertained dangers include the serious decline in the population of an endangered or other
valuable species or the deterioration of natural beauty or scientific value of a property caused by human activities such
as logging, pollution, settlement, mining, agriculture and major public works. Ascertained dangers for cultural properties
include serious deterioration of materials, structure, ornaments or architectural coherence and the loss of historical
authenticity or cultural significance. Potential dangers for both cultural and natural sites include development projects,
armed conflicts, insufficient management systems or changes in the legal protective status of the properties. In the case
of cultural sites, gradual changes due to geology, climate or environment can also be potential dangers.
Before a property is inscribed on the List of World Heritage in Danger, its condition is assessed and a potential programme
for corrective measures is developed in cooperation with the State Party involved. The final decision about inscription is
made by the committee. Financial support from the World Heritage Fund may be allocated by the committee for listed
properties. The state of conservation is reviewed on a yearly basis, after which the committee may request additional
measures, delete the property from the list if the threats have ceased or consider deletion from both the List of World
Heritage in Danger and the World Heritage List. Of the two Former UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the Dresden Elbe Valley was
delisted after placement on the List of World Heritage in Danger while the Arabian Oryx Sanctuary was directly delisted. As
of 2016, there are 55 entries (18 natural, 38 cultural) on the List of World Heritage in Danger. Some sites have been
designated as World Heritage Sites and World Heritage in Danger in the same year, such as the Church of the Nativity,
traditionally considered to be the birthplace of Jesus. Arranged by the UNESCO regions 21 of the listed sites are located
in the Arab States (of which 7 are located in Syria and 5 in Libya), 17 in Africa (of which 5 are in the Democratic
Republic of the Congo), 7 in Latin America and the Caribbean, 6 in Asia and the Pacific, and 4 in Europe and North America
(all by 2016). The majority of the endangered natural sites (13) are located in Africa.

Babylon is still telling its story
Sumer
Sumer (/ˈsuːmər/; from Akkadian Šumeru; Sumerian ???????????? ki-en-ĝir15, approximately land of the civilized kings or native land) was an ancient civilization and historical region in southern Mesopotamia, modern-day southern Iraq, during the Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age. Although the earliest forms of writing in the region do not go back much further than c. 3500 BCE, modern historians have suggested that Sumer was first permanently settled between c. 5500 and 4000 BCE by a non-Semitic people who may or may not have spoken the Sumerian language (pointing to the names of cities, rivers, basic occupations, etc. as evidence). These conjectured, prehistoric people are now called proto-Euphrateans or Ubaidians, and are theorized to have evolved from the Samarra culture of northern Mesopotamia (Assyria). The Ubaidians were the first civilizing force in Sumer, draining the marshes for agriculture, developing trade, and establishing industries, including weaving, leatherwork, metalwork, masonry, and pottery. However, some scholars such as Piotr Michalowski and Gerd Steiner, contest the idea of a Proto-Euphratean language or one substrate language. It has been suggested by them and others, that the Sumerian language was originally that of the hunter and fisher peoples, who lived in the marshland and the Eastern Arabia littoral region, and were part of the Arabian bifacial culture. Reliable historical records begin much later; there are none in Sumer of any kind that have been dated before Enmebaragesi (c. 26th century BC). Professor Juris Zarins believes the Sumerians were settled along the coast of Eastern Arabia, today's Persian Gulf region, before it flooded at the end of the Ice Age. Sumerian literature speaks of their homeland being Dilmun.
Sumerian civilization took form in the Uruk period (4th millennium BC), continuing into the Jemdat Nasr and Early Dynastic periods. During the 3rd millennium BC, a close cultural symbiosis developed between the Sumerians (who spoke a language isolate) and the Semitic Akkadian speakers, which included widespread bilingualism. The influence of Sumerian on Akkadian (and vice versa) is evident in all areas, from lexical borrowing on a massive scale, to syntactic, morphological, and phonological convergence. This has prompted scholars to refer to Sumerian and Akkadian in the 3rd millennium BC as a Sprachbund. Sumer was conquered by the Semitic-speaking kings of the Akkadian Empire around 2270 BCE (short chronology), but Sumerian continued as a sacred language. Native Sumerian rule re-emerged for about a century in the Third Dynasty of Ur (Sumerian Renaissance) of the 21st to 20th centuries BCE, but the Akkadian language also remained in use. The Sumerian city of Eridu, on the coast of the Persian Gulf, was the world's first city, where three separate cultures fused — that of peasant Ubaidian farmers, living in mud-brick huts and practicing irrigation; that of mobile nomadic Semitic pastoralists living in black tents and following herds of sheep and goats; and that of fisher folk, living in reed huts in the marshlands, who may have been the ancestors of the Sumerians.
