ISIS is trying their best to make sure they destroy every little piece of history left in Syria right now. Some time back we did a story that shows just how badly the war has devastated the once beautiful town of Palmyra in Syria. As if that wasn't enough, ISIS is trying its best to erase every little part of Syria's rich history and culture remembered by Christians, Sufi and Shiite origin. A year after they took over the town of Palmyra, the group has released a new video that shows the militants destroying artefacts and crushing Syrian mummies with bulldozers. Islamic State militants are even shown destroying the city's museums. An unidentified structure is seen being brought down to rubble with an explosive. Five mummies, who were once a part of the Palmyra National Museum, were brought out on the streets and crushed by a bulldozer. According to a report by National Geographic, 95% of the collections were saved by Syria, but the fate of the mummy was still unclear. Check out the upsetting video-



Although the city of Palmyra has been completely ravaged, archaeologists and preservationists with the Digital Institute of Archaeology have been trying to restore these sites via 3D technology. But the museum administrators have found a silver lining in all this destruction. They say that they're more knowledgeable about preserving precious artefacts from the wrath of a war.
