In areas where ISIS is raging, the connection between civilians and the outside world is becoming more and more helpless, and they are afraid because they are constantly under the supervision of terrorist organizations. At the same time, ISIS is destroying ancient artifacts.
In 2015, ISIS attacked the Mosul Museum in Iraq. Although most of them destroyed replicas, it is sad that some of them are indeed original artifacts. Experts saw through video that these artifacts were smashed and overthrown, and that Islamic extremists even used electric tools to destroy them.
Christopher Jone, a Ph.D. student in ancient Near East history at Columbia University in New York, said that these Islamic extremists are destroying the 3,000-year-old, extremely rare, incalculable value of Hatra from Assyria (the ancient West Asian slave country). Original sculpture. Hatra is an ancient trading city in Parthia (an ancient western country in northeastern Iran) that was once the target of the Roman Empire.
One of the most devastating losses in this destruction was Aslam's lamassu. Lamasu is the first half of the Assyrian mythology. It has huge wings and it is said to defend the Assyrian temples and palaces. This time the destruction of Islamic extremists destroyed the sculpture of Hatra's sculptures about 15% of the world.

“ISIS's damage to Hatra's artistic heritage is disastrous,†Jone wrote in his summary. “Almost all the sculptures were excavated in the twentieth century. After they were excavated, they never left Iraq. The publications that introduced these sculptures used Arabic language, and they barely spread to the West. Outside Iraq, Few scholars have the opportunity to study these sculptures."
The spiritual world of mankind can be rebuilt, which is necessary for civilians in the midst of war. Local civilians are rebuilding the destroyed artifacts in the most positive way. However, this matter is very difficult. Most of the artifacts have been destroyed. Many ancient artifacts have been broken into pieces. The occurrence of such incidents is heartbreaking, but we still have hope. We can make copies of these artifacts through 3D design and 3D printing and make them searchable.
The first step in the Mosul Museum is to look for images of lost items. To this end, the museum launched the Project Mosul, which hopes that anyone who has photos of Mosul’s destroyed artifacts can send photos to volunteers in the project, who A 3D printed copy of these artifacts.
As shown above, the restoration of the Mosul Lions is a good example of what they have done so far. They make 3D models through Sketchfab, an interactive 3D model service website.
“They got a lot of volunteers and experts to help. In order to make 3D models, volunteers coded sculptures, professional PS image processing and automatic photogrammetry. The organization hopes that they can not only reconstruct these sculptures through virtual technology. They can also be used as a tool to help spread information and images to help recover looted items.
