Three important archaeological sites unearthed in Oman The Ministry of Heritage and Culture recently completed archaeological excavations at three different sites in Qumira, Dhank.

We recently shared photos from the destroyed museum in Raqqa.
At the request of INTERPOL National Central Bureau in Damascus, a special poster was created with pictures of 6 stolen objects from the museum, to expand awareness of the theft, and to increase hope for their recovery.
Not only these 6 objects, but all the objects which had a photographic documentation have been entered into the database of stolen works of art.

This page: https://www.interpol.int/Crime-areas/Works-of-art/Posters features several other posters of stolen objects from museums in Palmyra, Syria and Mosul, Iraq.

Nedávno jsme sdíleli fotky z vybombardovaného muzea v Rakce.
Na přání INTERPOL National Central Bureau in Damascus byl vytvořil speciální poster s obrázky 6 nejcennějších odcizených předmětů z muzea, pro rozšíření povědomí o krádeži a aby se zvýšila naděje na jejich navrácení.
Nejen těchto 6 předmětů, ale všechny, ke kterým byla fotografická dokumentace, jsou zapsány v databázi ukradených uměleckých děl.
