Blog Review 2/26: Graham Bowley and Robert Mackey's "Destruction of Antiquities by ISIS Is Denounced."

For this week, I am introducing destruction of antiquities in a museum in Middle East Mosul. Graham Bowley and Robert Mackey's article, "Destruction of Antiquities by ISIS Is Denounced." stood out to me for some strange reason. Maybe it is because of the word ‘destruction’ in the title. Throughout the article, they spoke about how awful it was to be destroying ancient art to get to hidden valuables. When it comes to the destruction of art, I agree with the writers. This is a selfish desire for money and riches. If there were another way to get the treasures out of the sculptures without completely destroying them, then maybe I would have a different opinion.
