The extremist group "State of War" (IS) released a video on the 26th, showing that the "Burma" armed personnel destroyed valuable cultural relics with sledgehammers and electric drills in Mosul, the capital of Nineveh Province in Iraq.

A large number of Mosul's museums were damaged, including the ancient Assyrian period and ancient Greek style handicrafts. Assyria is an ancient Western Slavery country that rose in the Tigris Valley.

The ancient ruins of the Assyrian capital of Nineveh were not spared. The “***” armed men carried electric drills and destroyed a granite-winged cow in front of a city gate.

Heritage experts say damaged items include genuine products, reproductions, and restored artifacts. Some artifacts come from the ancient Assyrian Kingdom, and some from the ancient city of Hathal, Kingdom of Pattaya. The Kingdom of Patia, also known as the Sabbath Empire, existed between 247 BC and 226 AD.

Comprehensive media reports that IS's sledgehammer and electric drill destroyed valuable cultural relics in Mosul, Iraq, and it was only a part of the destruction of ancient cultural relics. Previously, the extremist group had destroyed a series of relics they believed to be "heresy", burned books, and even destroyed the holy sites.

According to another report, while destroying the cultural relics in the occupied area, IS also sold a large number of ancient cultural relics in exchange for activity funds in the black market. On the 12th of this month, the UN Security Council passed a resolution demanding that all countries take immediate action to prevent IS and other extremist organizations from obtaining funds from such channels as oil trade, cultural relics smuggling, kidnapping and extortion.

The UN Security Council passed a resolution on the 12th of this month and decided to strengthen the sanctions on terrorist organizations involved in illegal oil trade, the smuggling of cultural relics and weapons, financial transactions and the use of the Internet for terrorist activities.
