- The arrival of the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq since 2014, alongside the devastating civil war in Syria, was accompanied by the high- scale destruction of the cultural heritage. All of the participants in the armed conflict have played a destructive role in this region. The aspect I will discuss in this paper is Daesh or the Islamic State, and how they are manipulating the world to destroy the heritage using religious labels; they have demolished monuments, art works, mosaics and large statues in the name of God, because this heritage represents polytheism, while at the same time selling archaeological items on the black market helps them to finance their state’s terrorist activities. The example of Palmyra provides relevant data to reveal the real reasons behind the destruction and adds more voices to the international calls to stop trafficking in items coming out of the conflict area.
