Temple of Bel, Syria

The image shows the destruction of 2000-old Roman temples in Palmira, Syria. Anthropologists and scientists from the world were afraid that this event might happen. Several days ago, videos of the event were distributed on the internet, but since the scientists could go to corroborate (or prevent their destruction), only through satellite imagery, they found out that the temples were, in fact, destroyed.

Residents have been slaughtered, and the archeologist, Khaled el-Assad, whom had been studied and protected the temples (the whole area), was decapitated, days before, by terrorists (ISIS).
