Has "Ahnenerbe" been revived in the US?

There were reports that over 337 artefacts belonging to the ancient civilisations of Mesopotamia were handed over to the Iraqi Embassy in Lebanon. They were stolen from Iraqi museums during the US armed intervention in that country in 2003.

As the Minister of Culture of Lebanon Mohammed Mortada said at a press conference, all of them were kept in the private museum of ancient and modern art of Nabu in the city of Batroun, but were at one time bought by private collectors on the black market or openly at auctions in the United States and Western Europe. Among the returned relics are Sumerian cuneiform tablets, figurines of pagan gods and jewellery.

Recently, the New York Times told how the Prime Minister of Iraq, after his official visit to the United States, delivered several dozen artefacts to Baghdad on his plane, which ended up in the American Bible museums and Cornell University. It turned out that they were also abducted in the south of Iraq on the ruins of the previously unknown Sumarian town of Girsu.

The number of such cases of returning artefacts to their historical homeland began to increase, although according to the volunteers of the Middle East office of the Freelance Bureau of International Investigations, after the military occupation of Iraq, more than half a million artefacts were taken out of the country, which the largest auction houses in the West did not disdain to put up for open sale.

But only now the scale of the robbery of monuments of world archeology and culture in Iraq is gradually emerging.

According to some reports, 90,000 archaeological artefacts belonging to Iraq are illegally located in the United States alone today. However, in order to return them to Iraq, now, as it turns out, it is necessary to conduct special studies and examinations. It is high time to create a special international commission under UNESCO to assess the historical and cultural damage inflicted on Iraq.

Today, the following is reliably known. It was no coincidence that American military bases were deployed in historical places and engaged in the unauthorised seizure and export of thousands of antiquities from the country. This can be considered indirect evidence that black market art dealers robbed Iraqi museums under the cover of the army.

At the same time, the robbers knew where and what to take, had schemes of museum storerooms, special equipment for breaking into storages. According to experts, there was the deliberate destruction of the heritage of Mesopotamia civilisations.

Mesopotamia, the Sumerians, King Nebuchadnezzar II, the Tower of Babel and the fertile crescent of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. It's all about Iraq. The looting of Iraqi museums (Baghdad, Mosul, etc.) can be considered the biggest cultural catastrophe of the century.

They presented collections of prehistoric, Sumerian, Assyrian, Babylonian and Islamic periods, most of which are of global value, including masterpieces of the ancient civilisations of Ur, Sumer, Babylon, Assyria and other states. The massive looting of historical museums was systematic and planned.

Illegal antiques trade is now considered no less profitable than drug trafficking, but that's not the only problem. Everything is much deeper, as preparations are underway to rewrite the history of not only Iraq.

Experts suspect that the theft of many artefacts in Iraq was initiated by the so-called "priests of globalism" associated with the occult. To do this, they collect sacred relics of the nations of the world all over the world, create a kind of research structure, which is often compared to the "Ahnenerbe" of the Third Reich. In particular, during the inspection of the museum in Baghdad, Iraqi experts found professional glass cutters left by the robbers.

By the way, in March 2011, a message was doing the rounds in the media: Dr. Donny George, a scientist, an Assyrian by nationality, died of a sudden heart attack at the airport of the Canadian city of Toronto. He was in a hurry to give a lecture to Canadian listeners on the search for treasures stolen from Iraqi museums.

It is in this, and not only in the banal desire for enrichment, that the main international intrigue is hidden, taking into account the fact that experiments are being conducted to "recycle" the historical memory of peoples through the destruction of evidence about the "roots of civilisation" stored in temples, museums and libraries of the Middle East. This means that the relics of the history of mankind are chosen and collected purposefully.

Iraq demanded and demands not only from the United States to return the looted artefacts. There is a brutal war going on in this field. It is the richest country that has some of the largest oil reserves on the planet.

It was here that man built the first cities, great civilisations have replaced each other here for thousands of years, all of them have left their imprint on the culture of the peoples now living in Iraq. But this did not bring its inhabitants either happiness or prosperity, although this land is the cradle of human civilisation. We can only hope that reason will prevail, and peace will come to the long-suffering ancient land.

As for UNESCO, it cannot stop wars, but the organisation has really begun to make active efforts to bring these problems to the attention of public opinion, to prevent the destruction and blatantly unfair theft of historical values. So, all is not lost yet.
