I just hear over radio this news and I was stunned... I was sad, I was angry, I was hopeless... I hope this are only stories and mumbling of one lunatic...

I fear this scenario is just a matter of time. I regret saying this, but it will happen sooner or later and I fear it will happen during our own lifetime in the near future. I'd really love to to Egypt and witness it all before it's too late.

Thank's Lutz for this good news. I hope that this plan will work and that the Egyptians monuments will be protected at all costs. I still cannot believe that someone would like to destroy such precious heritage of our ancestors.

I'm concerned for all ancient monuments that could fall under destructive control of these baboons. Egyptians or not.

However, to me, the most important are studies of them and survey reports. They keep memory of these monuments. Many early surveys report things that no longer exist now because either lost or fallen to erosion.

Of course, meaningless and hypocritical destruction such as this, is utterly unwarranted.

Isis does as they want and care nothing about other cultures history. I would have military protection including anti missile and aircraft capability. 24/7/365 protection is needed. I know that this is impossible but I would go for coverage of major sights then maximum area coverage of lesser sights. And all units would be weapons free. Expensive yes but if Egypt was to loose its ancient monuments the damage to tourism dollars would devastate the economy.

I hope that Egyptian government will see the true problem with this destructors, and protect an ancient sites at all costs. The world would lose more than we can imagine...

I almost cried with the news about Mosul and Nineveh. I pray it never happens in Egypt, but it is oh so close to happening.

I think it now better to keep the Nefertiti bust in Berlin.

What happened to Ninevah?
