Antiquities destroyed in Iraq

Recently, the Isis terrorist group. has destroyed some antiquities located in a Mosul museum. A new video has been released by the terrorist group, showing how their militants were destroying some antiquities with heavy hammers.
It's not clear in the video how many pieces were originals or replicas, anyway, the video is an insult for the whole human patrimony, not only the occidental culture. The main general director of the museum, confirmed that the major part of the pieces were real.


Words:

Patrimony:  part of a culture

Hammer: martell

Antiquities: ancient artefacts
