On 6 March 2015 The Associated Press reported: Islamic State extremists trucked away statues as they damaged the irreplaceable remains of an ancient Assyrian capital, a local resident and a top UN official told The Associated Press Friday. Nimrud, a nearly 3,000-year-old city in present-day Iraq, included monumental statues of winged bulls, bearded horsemen, and other winged figures, all symbols of an ancient Mesopotamian empire in the cradle of Western civilization. Iraq's most revered Shiite cleric, the Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, said in his Friday sermon that the extremists are savaging Iraq, 'not only in the present but also to its history and ancient civilizations'. 'I'm shocked and speechless,' said Zeid Abdullah, who lives in nearby Mosul and studied at the city's Fine Arts Institute until the extremists shut that down. 'The destruction of Nimrud is a big loss to Iraq's history,' Qais Mohammed Rasheed, the deputy tourism and antiquities minister, told The Associated Press on Friday. 'The loss is irreplaceable.' Global Good News service views this news as the failure of modern culture and world peace systems. Such 'flops' highlight the need for more intelligent, evolutionary, Natural Law based, life-supporting systems.
