Subscribe to our channel! rupt.ly/subscribe
The National Museum of Damascus opened its doors to the public once more on Sunday, after being closed for the past seven years due to the ongoing conflict in Syria.
Visitors were able to see a collection of artefacts recovered by the Syrian Arab Army alongside archaeological findings from the prehistoric, historical, classical and Islamic epochs. Many of the country's archaeological sites were destroyed or badly damaged as a result of the ongoing fighting, but many of the museum's most precious pieces were hidden around the country for safe keeping until now.

Syria: National Museum of Damascus restores IS-destroyed Palmyra artefacts
A team of experts at the National Museum of Damascus demonstrated ongoing process of restoring damaged or fully-destroyed antiques from the ancient city of Palmyra, which were looted or destroyed by the self-proclaimed Islamic State (IS; formerly ISIS/ISIL) in the heat of the war, footage from Wednesday shows.
During the conflict which lasted more than seven years, IS militants stormed and looted the UNESCO-protected city on two occasions, destroying precious archeological sites, such as temples and tombs, and shattering sculptures.
Shortly after combat ceased in Palmyra, authorities retrieved hundreds of damaged and fully-destroyed artifacts and brought them to the National Museum of Damascus in an attempt to restore them.
According to reports, it is expected that the process will take between five to eight years.

Syria: Damascus National Museum comes back to life as East Ghouta ceasefire ensues
The National Museum in Damascus opened its doors to visitors, Tuesday, days following the implementation of the latest ceasefire and de-escalation agreements in East Ghouta.
A number of children were seen touring the museum's open-air exhibition, with guides leading the tour and explaining the history behind the monuments and antiquities on display. Meanwhile, maintenance and repair work inside the main exhibition area to fix damage sustained while fighting in the area was ongoing.
SOT, Jihad Abu Kahrlah, deputy director of the National Museum in Damascus (Arabic): Of course, there is the fear of any terrorist assault, whether by rockets or shelling, because these antiquities might be harmed severely, whether due to being directly hit by mortar bombs, or due to the sound, or the fire resulting from the explosion. That is why we have to hide them [the antiquities].

Medieval Medical Museum Reopens in Damascus After 7 Years
Syria's Arab Museum of Medicine and Science on Sunday welcomed its first group of visitors after being closed for seven years by conflict.
The museum, located in the heart of Damascus, was once a medieval hospital and medical school dating back to the 12th century and was known as Bimaristan (hospital) Nur al-Din, named after its founder.
It was once an advanced care center that cured many patients with its outstanding physicians, equipment and operation rooms.
In 1975, the Bimaristan was renovated and become the Arab Museum of Medicine and Science.
However, the civil war forced the museum to close.

Life returns to normal in Damascus
(7 Oct 2018) LEADIN:
Damascus residents are saying that life is returning to normal in the Syrian capital.
Business owners are optimistic that a government retake of opposition strongholds will help stabilise the financial situation in the country.
STORYLINE:
Bashar Al-Binni is showing off his grey parrot.
He can now finally let the parrot outside, to sing and whistle at people who pass by his video game shop.
Less than a year ago, his neighbourhood near Eastern Gate, an entrance to the Old City of Damascus, was bombarded with artillery shells.
But Al-Binni says life is slowly returning back to normal.
Now one can actually think about how to improve oneself, you can build and create as you did before. At the start of the crisis it was not like that, one was only thinking about how to stay alive. But it's gotten much better now, God willing, he says.
Business is doing well, he adds, as more people are looking for entertainment.
Once an obligatory stop for international tourists to the country, with some roads and structures in the area dating back thousands of years to Greek, Roman, and medieval times, now most of the visitors to the neighbourhood are Syrian, enjoying an evening out on the town.
Many of the older stately homes have been remodelled as hotels, cafes and bars.
The optimism felt by many Damascus residents is being fed by a feeling that President Bashar Assad, with unwavering support from allies Russia and Iran, has won, or at least has defeated those opposition fighters trying to topple him.
Many say that the war is not quite over, but they're hopeful it will be soon.
Syrian officials say that with the government's military gains over the past year, it's now time to focus on rebuilding.
A convention in the capital last week hosted businesses from 29 countries with a focus on construction, technology and industries.
The government now holds the majority of Syria's territory, with the north largely controlled by US-backed and Kurdish-led forces, opposition fighters allied with Turkey, and insurgent groups.
Palestinian refugee Mohammed Qordani owns a takeway pizza shop in Damascus.
He says people feel safer now, more at ease walking around and staying out late, which is good news for his business.
After Eastern Ghouta was liberated, things are like they were before, and they're getting better. As for the economic situation, it's getting better, and everyone goes out in the streets, because it's safe to go out in the streets now, Qordani says.
Eastern Ghouta is a string of towns and villages east of Damascus that were held by rebels and under siege by government forces for five years.
The government retook them this spring and summer.
Radwan Rizqa, an antique shop owner, plays backgammon with a friend on a pavement near his shop.
He says some people stopped buying furniture during the early years of the conflict, but now business is working as usual.
He thinks he couldn't get the quality of life he has in Syria anywhere else.
I have a residency and a shop in Germany, and all my family there. But I'm staying here, I'm happy here, he says.
At the Umayyad Mosque inside the old city, evening prayers continue as they have for centuries, and outside, crowds fill the surrounding marketplaces' alleys.

Syria: Museum of Damascus receives Temple of Baal ceiling replica
Subscribe to our channel! rupt.ly/subscribe
The National Museum of Damascus received a replica of part of the ceiling of the ancient Temple of Baal from Palmyra as a gift from Italian sculptors in Damascus on Tuesday.
Italian specialists worked for almost two years to recreate a fragment of the ceiling of the Baal temple by using drawings and photographs. The copy, which is four meters long and weighs about 200 kilograms, was 3D printed.
The restorers used a variety of traditional colours and materials to give ancient archaeological character to the ceiling of the temple.
“The fact that many people are here today, I think that Syrian people really care of their cultural heritage, as they have already shown during the times of the crisis,” representative of Sapienza University of Roma Davide Nadali said.
The temple of Baal was the main shrine of Palmyra. It represented a unique combination of oriental and ancient architectures. The layout was made in the style of the shrines of the Middle East. In 2015, militants of the Islamic State destroyed the temple almost completely.
Before bringing the copy to Syria, it was exhibited in Rome, Brussels, and Paris. Now, this exhibit is available for viewing and in Damascus. After the full restoration of Palmyra, this part of the Temple of Baal will return to its historic place.
