YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The Islamic State group (aka ISIS or ISIL) is waging a war against historic art – what they consider symbols of idolatry. A video published online shows fighters destroying artifacts with sledgehammers, drills and their bare hands. The statues and sculptures, purportedly in a museum in Mosul, date as far back as 7th century BCE.
